My cousin left teaching because she was hit on more than occasion and finally 2 boys, who she told to sit down and stop interrupting the class, attacked her, with some of the kids laughing. She'd been teaching for 22 yrs and said today's kids behaved like feral animals.
The problem is that from an early age there are no consequences for their actions , it’s all about nurture and the discipline is lacking , they forget that discipline is part of nurture . Children need boundaries from the beginning this makes them feel secure not frightened. It’s common sense , if there are no consequences for their actions what message does this send and what sort of society is resulting from this.
Punched in the guts, sworn at, knocked to the ground, strangled from behind, desks and chairs thrown at me, spat upon, threatened by students and parents alike, jammed behind classroom doors, hat stolen, ten/twelve/fourteen hour days ... Why would I recommend teaching as a rewarding and satisfying career path?
Blame the parents. If any teacher said to us, one more interruption or talking back and I'll be writing to your parents, we lived in dread. Our parents would have floored us for showing them up! Now many parents will go in and yell at the teacher and side with the child.
I think this stems from some UN Childrens Charters from the late 80s. I remember hearing in the very early 90s (and it was all over the media, albeit paper in those days!) that primary school children were coming to school with declarations that They Knew Their Rights, and teachers were terrified that they would get into trouble for putting a comforting arm around a small child. The UN is bonkers and discredited. But as always, rules and guidance designed to prevent the worst kind of child abuse is used to penalise ordinary parents, without in any way preventing child abuse.
Teachers are leaving in droves after 1 or 2 years. It isn't like those adverts they use to recruit. Kids are restless, bored and disruptive. I know, I worked in secondary schools for 18 years.
Kids are so conformist. I used to collect stamps and exchange them in a club and then we'd cover punk songs after school. Now it's all fidget spinners, Roblox and misgendering. I jest btw.
I say from observations that it is the students at home not getting the right parenting and teachers not being given the right tools. You tell them off nothing really happens and the parents are on auto entitled trying to defend them instead if listening to the teachers who are witnessing there behaviours. Today's society is backwards as they say your opinion matters bit what they don't say in school is in this building you follow the rules or you will be disciplined my head of final year terrified everyone because she just had to raise her voice and you'd be scared. If everyone's opinions matter then no progress is actually made because some will agree and disagree even if its an opinion that's either good or bad. I support democracy but today's culture of easily offended and cancel because I haven't seen it but it offends me is shouting without actually listening its "I am this your offensive so I have the power to speak over you".NEWS FLASH YOU DONT.
o many now see teachers as the ones to bring up their kids they expect far to much to feed them council them teachers are not social workers they are there to teach time parents went back to being just that and look after their own kids

that’s terrible. Which school was that?
@@Funintherain13 That's a summation of several schools, government, Catholic and independent.

Our local school has gone up in flames this week due to a rogue 16yr old girl pupil
Discipline should prevail and enforced by strong teaching.
Not lilly slivered quivering fools.
Again.... You are the type that will blame the teacher and that's the problem
@@TheBigThinker944 lol
It’s been getting worse for years but no one can touch the little darlings, the ones who want to learn and behave suffer the most.

Home schooling it is then!

Bootcamps for disruptive brats, not fair on kids that want to learn either.

When it was only british kids in our schools we never had this problem!! This all comes with the boats like knife crime!
All kids should be expelled who are responsible for the chaos. Parents to be held responsible, too.
1200 teachers left teaching in NSW Im told last year because they can no longer cope with the violence of the students
You're own fault this is happening. FIX IT.
o many now see teachers as the ones to bring up their kids they expect far to much to feed them council them teachers are not social workers they are there to teach time parents went back to being just that and look after their own kids
They not just sitting in on teacher interviews, the're selecting the teachers
Isn't diversity great!
