Tackling Violent Pupils

Teachers will have the right to use "reasonable force" against aggressive pupils under new Government guidelines.

Powers to confiscate mobile phones and give pupils Saturday detentions are also part of the first shake-up of school discipline in a decade.

Education Secretary Alan Johnson said the new powers will allow teachers to crack down on the "am I bovvered?" generation of unruly schoolchildren.

He claimed many disruptive youngsters take their lead from the Lauren character in The Catherine Tate Show.

But, in an interview with the Sunday Mirror, he said they could expect to be hauled back into line with new punishments, which come into law on Monday.

The measures, introduced under last year's Education and Inspections Act, are the first major change to teachers' guidelines on discipline for a decade.

Teachers have complained that the previous guidelines were not clear enough and it was not always clear that they had the law on their side.

Mr Johnson said: "Most kids are well-behaved in school, but we want to take action against those who are consistently rude, disruptive and disrespectful.

"They're making life miserable for teachers and spoiling it for children who do want to learn.

"Teachers now have a clear legal power to act swiftly and decisively against troublemakers.

"It means kids that step out of line can expect to be appropriately punished."

Bring back the cane I say. That ought to teach the unruly twerps :mmokay:

It's not far off... I heard people talking about it on the radio last week. I thought they were talking about them actually bringing the cane in inevitably.

Community service would be better

It's about time teachers were given more authority in the classroom. So much had been taken away from them over the past years. Parents today don't seem to want to admit "little Johnnie" is not always the little darling he appears to be and few make their kids take responsibility for bad behavior.

If they misbehave in school, the school should have the right to discipline them. Otherwise, let the parents home school their disruptive child so the others have the opportunity to learn in a calm and peaceful environment.

Rar! I don't care for these little rude boy wannabes. They'll only end up in a gang, taking/dealing drugs etc anyway. The aggressive gangsta wannabes need a good beating to be put on the right path.... the community service would be ideal.

Still won't stop annoying brats from using various other tactics.

I've heard that this includes the cane you know so apparently the CANE is in force today for next week

 

[omar_2133]

This is just what we need right now - some order and discipline, especially in a day and age of today where gangs roam about the streets terrorizing people, youngsters take drugs and anti-social behaviour is rife.

Hopefully, this will be one major step into cracking down the UK's overall and general youth problem and making the generation of tommorow more law-abiding citizens.

 

[Woodrow]

As people we tend to overcompensate in the opposite direction, when we try to repair our past errors. This is good thing as long as it does not swing over to the side of brutality.

 

[Muezzin]

Finally some redress. It was a ridiculous situation where a victim of bullying could get into more trouble than the bully himself for retaliating. As Woodrow said, as long as teachers don't cross the line, this is a good measure.

I don't really mind but i don't think some of my fellow students are going to like this :rollseyes :rollseyes

Yep..Just What I Wanted To Say! :thumbs_up

Yay!! i think... S

I don't really mind but i don't think some of my fellow students are going to like this :rollseyes :rollseyes

Well then they're going to have to calm down, get on with their work and keep out of trouble then won't they?

I do hope this is the cane. It's what I've heard on the radio and other people so hopefully it's right. Anyone care to be a guinea pig?

 

[InToTheRain]

Nah dont think its happening, I mean the first people they should give the right to is the parents of the children without having the social care breathing behind their necks? Why give it to the teachers first? some of them will just abuse it... well same could be said for parents ;/ bah, its aint happening...

 

[AhlaamBella]

woah....I know students can be....annoying (to put it mildly) but is violence really the answer???

Yes... Some of them need to be taught to be disciplined. They do it in the British army. My dad was in the army. If the troops give any lip, attitude, anything at all they get their heads kicked in. The army also forces you get in the boxing ring. It's all discipline. The same would happen in community service.

Bring back community service anyone?

 

[siFilam]

:salamext:
we need this America. When I was in high school my teachers spent most of their time trying to get the students to behave instead of actually teaching their lessons. Whats worst is when the teachers called the parents, some parents would actually get mad at the teacher and support their kids. these kids had no respect for authority, so you can imagine how much they actually learned in school.

and Allah knows best whats good for us.

isn't this sad and pathetic. they use proper methods of discipline in the army yet they fail to understand that schools' need for this type of discipline is even greater. our priorities are all messed up. May Allah forgive us. Ameen.
