Mum’s car got keyed at work. One of the other teachers drives a similar car. There is one kid that always causes issues (including sending one of the teachers to hospital) we can only assume it was done by the parents of that kid.
Best bit is the cameras in the carpark are fake so they can’t prove it.
what facilities and methods do schools have to address and channel aggressive and competitive behaviour into constructive outlets, rather than this?
I had a student flip a table and square up to me. Same student went for a PE teacher who ‘hid’ in a storage room whilst the student tried to kick the door down for his own safety. He was given TA support but three of them refused to work with him after a week due to hi anger/violent tendencies.
Student was given a week exclusion and…that’s pretty much it. Parents kicked off and refused any other provision for the student so the school kept him in. Whether the schools’ hands were tied or we had weak leadership (we do), I’m not sure.
> Teachers face increased workloads and behavioural issues as they work 54 hours a week on average, a new survey has found.
If teachers are willing to do that much unpaid overtime, what incentive is there for the school (or more typically the MAT) to change anything?
Send the fuckers to a boot camp. The parents refuse? Send them too.
I was punched and kicked on a regular basis. Parents would actually cheer when they tried to hit me. Sometimes it was more than one kid. Sometimes I wish I’d never taught karate for 10 years lol. Honestly no one should have to deal with violence in the work place.
Unpaid overtime is a huge issue in schools. The unions addressed this in their latest pay claim. Does the government or MAT’s care? Nope.
I saw a viral video yday where a student asked a teacher right to her face what she would do if someone put a huge black dick inside her. Where are this boy’s parents? It’s un-fucking-real.
I’ve said it before and will say it again. Go abroad or quit teaching, those are the options the UK presents you with.
Look abroad
You owe this shithole country nothing
Fuck this. Bring back the cane its the only way itll change.
It is coming from younger and younger kids too. Kids in Reception are entering school with violent tendencies but are too young to properly control their tempers, nor do they understand how their actions affect others yet. It makes it much harder to get through to them and to manage their outbursts. You also end up with 29 others kids who are afraid of this one child because they never know when they might blow up. It all makes for a terrible classroom environment and you can feel the tension in the room every time you walk in.
It’s so easy to end up doing about 50 hours which is such a pisstake when we only get paid for 32.
Cut backs to schools mean teachers have less resources and bigger classes. Longer hours for everyone inside with less breaks. Welcomes in chaos
If there were more schools and class size was smaller, with more resources and trained assistants to tackle kids anger. Plus more recreation time, better playgrounds, better food would probably reduce frustration from the kids. Might help reduce the issue to a manageable level
Not forgetting how we really don’t prepare parents for parenthood or give solid months long parental leave like other countries in Europe where this is less of an issue
I genuinely don’t understand why someone would want to become a teacher in the UK. What are the benefits? Bad pay, bad conditions, under-resourced, under-funded, ofsted, management. At least doctors get a boat load of money to compensate
