Superman Challenge gets schools in Switzerland to take action!
The recently emerged “Superman Challenge” is causing excitement among children and young people and has already led to the most serious injuries. This dangerous trend activity, in which a participant is thrown into the air by others in a Superman pose, has left its mark and is increasingly being discussed in schools, especially in Switzerland. Teachers and schools have begun to educate about such risky trends in the classroom to sensitize students about the potential dangers. Schools also organize parents' evenings to jointly develop strategies for media use and inform parents about current challenges, such as today.at reports.
Another important topic that is spreading in schools is increasing child poverty, as the Robert Bosch Foundation has found in its current school barometer. Teachers report a growing presence of financial concerns in their classes. Around one in three teachers notice that their students are more often worried about their families' financial situation. In socially disadvantaged schools, almost every second teacher says this. Teachers must be sensitized to this critical situation in order to better understand the backgrounds and needs of the children affected. The study also shows that one in five children in Germany is at risk of poverty, which can have a negative impact on their school performance and psychosociality. Such challenges can significantly impact the learning atmosphere, such as BR.de reports.
The consequences of classroom challenges
The survey also reveals that more and more students are exhibiting behavioral problems, which is a major concern for teachers. These children with behavioral problems show concentration problems and excessive use of digital media. This particularly affects schools with socially disadvantaged students and is an enormous challenge for teachers. Given these difficulties, it is clear that a comprehensive strategy is needed to find adequate solutions that address both the safe use of social media and the social differences of students.
