From this topic, we can see that there are many social forces such as family structure, crimes and violence, growing elderly population, and growing minority population which affected the education of the children at school. Despite that, I would like to explain more on the point: Crimes & Violence.

Social forces can be defined as social reactions or behavior that share developmental history and relationships in purposes and methods. 

What is the relationship between social forces and education?

The child's learning environment is influenced by these social forces. Connel (1994, p. 129) said, that students from the working class (lower class) are less likely to do well in tests and examinations than rich students. At the end of the day, the students will be facing educational disadvantages and difficulty getting a decent high-paying job in the future.

Among the social forces that influence the education of children are crimes and violence. 

How do crimes and violence-affected them academically at school?

When the student is physically & emotionally abused at home by the parents, he will become timid and quiet at school. He is barely paying attention to the classes and alone most of the time. 

If nobody tries to approach him, the situation could be more worst as he becomes depressed, or he will be engaging in risky behaviors. 

The teachers should be alert for the signs such as the changes in the behavior of the students to avoid such things happening. The role of a teacher is to become the therapist, protector, and educator for the students. 

Besides, teachers can apply various approaches to consult the students and help them to get proper consultation from professionals before making a procedure to report it to authorities.

Hence, analyzing your student's behavior and academic achievement could help them more than just improve their academics, but it could also save their life.
