Once again my morning TV viewing was alive with reports of school children ‘out of control’ or just plain old ignorant!
The young teacher who had decided to give up the teaching profession was describing how she had been subjected to being sworn at, spit at, and many other general signs of uncouth behavior. The only attempts to put an end to this behavior involved, sending the child to a ‘cooler’ a bit like letting them get out of lessons, another method suggested was a period of exclusion. Once again giving exactly what the child was wanting.No other corrective measures were available.
