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."

That means in your country of England, right?
Hmm... not that much different than how it is in Japan.
My opinion is that it won't work. Has Japan lose the violence between teachers and students?
No... not at all. There infact was an increase in violence as a result.
So how do you decrease violence? Well you'll to stop pretending to be a child to understand.
Here are the things you must understand to not be a child and therefore be able to handel a child in the classroom. Children in the bodies of adults shouldn't even have the right to live. It is a dishonor to god, to the rest of us, to our ancestors, to the prophets, to everyone, and to everything. There is no reason nor excuse for an adult man to behave like a child in the classroom and I've seen it throughout my entire life.
Anyways here they are...
1) Take care of yourself. Being an adult period should mean you can take care of yourself on the full means of taking care of yourself. Having a job, paying your bills, buying food, cleaning up after yourself, cleaning up after other people, bathing yourself regularly, and working towards bettering yourself as a person.
2) Do not whine. Although it isn't so bad to admit it if you are to take the initiaive to insure or work towards stopping it.
3) Do not deny whining. It is better to admit whining even if you didn't, than it is to whine and not admit it.
4) Do not become angry if someone jokes you, taunts you, hits you, or angers you in any other means. Someone who can control their anger is an adult.
5) Do not stoop to the same level as someone else to get even. As an adult you shouldn't even care what they are doing as long as it doesn't endanger your life or someone else.
6) Do not deny sinning even if you did not sin. This is because true adults are not full of themselves even if being honest.
7) Do not boast your ego. As an adult you have more important things to do like taking care of yourself and keeping your ego out of your head.
8) Do not cave in when using force is necessary. What I mean by that is if you are about to be killed by someone or fearful of your life, then by all means defend thy self.
9) Show respect to your family, peers, and bosses unless they wish for to be honest with them and they do have something about them that is disrespectful.
10) Do not yell or scream at someone in the face, unless it was a death or life event. Yelling at someone is just as bad as stooping to their level and screaming is just plain out childish.
Now if you can get those things then I'll tell you what a teacher should do in the classroom.
A teacher's job is to teach. Not to give out lessons. Is a teacher just an instructor? No... An instructor instructs. A teacher teaches. So a teacher must do more than just give out lessons and demands his or her students to learn them and have them memorized by next class period or by the end of class. The teacher as to teach out those lessons so the child can learn them and memorize them by the end of class or whenever.
And what is teaching?
If you search it up online on a dictionary.
You should get the following: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/TEACH
But even those aren't the correct definitions of teachings.
What teaching really is can only be understood by watching a particular movie about a math teacher that tryies to teach children in the ghetto about mathematics and eventually brings them into studying calculus. He continues to teach them and works hard to insure that they are learning, even when he has to go to their homes and teach them and when he nearly dies from the stress of his work. That is the only way to teach. All other ways are just different forms of instructing and not truly teaching.
Teaching is like what Muhammad, Jesus, and Buddha did and that is to give out your soul, life, heart, and mind into directing the thoughts of others into understanding a specific aspect in achieving the ideal ability to achieve in life regardless of what that ability may be.
For Muhammad it was to teach the Arabs how to best serve and respect god's authority.
For that math teacher it was to teach the disprivledged students how to factor calculus problems and to pass the A.P. Calculus Exam.
What these teachers need to do is get off of their behind and make sure those needed students are able to suceed in his or her class. Moreover, those teachers need to make an attempt to understand their students on a level that is official rather than professional. That means stop watching bogus crap on TV and get to where to children live and understand what they are going through and what they have to deal with. That's probably why they may act the way they do. I mean a student that has to work at night may act out improperly and may resort to violence even if that person normally wouldn't under normal circumstances. So it is all a matter of understanding what that child has to go through and most teachers just don't care. They are too busy gulping down on their fifth lunch or chatting to their friends like teenagers.
However I will say this, electronic gadgets or whatever shouldn't be confiscated (a legal but still immoral means of stealing), they should be just tossed out the window. Hey you ain't stealing, you are helping the student to learn, and you are getting rid of those stupid phones. For goodness stakes, there usually are such things as pay phones in the school. Why does a child even need a cell phone? Toss the stupid thing out the window. Be done with it.
