I teach at a high school.There's a lot of contributing factors -socio-economic,political issues,uninvolved
parents etc.They don't respect teachers anymore and hide behind their "human rights" forgetting that teachers are human as well. Children are disruptive,don't take out books,swear at teachers, use drugs etc.If they are expelled the department of education forces us to take them back.This leads to children thinking they can get away with murder(literally!)A 14 year old(from another school) murdered a19 year old over gambling dept.Teachers are threatened if they want to discipline them.Parents are inapt to educate and have no sense of responsibility.Would for example use drugs themselves and let their 15 year old daughter sleep with her boyfriend.I blame television,lack of support from government,the change in school policy(no Christian values or corporal punishment)and that parents aren't forced to take responsibility!Teaching is in my blood but they're sucking the life out of me!
