in this day and age how esay is it for teachers to send children home from school for doing something wrong?

Question

My grandson who does have bad behavior problems,and the teacher know this

Answer 1

A teacher can not send a child home from school. Only the principal can. The child usually gets sent down to the office and is talked to. Then the parents are called. Most schools find a way to deal with the problem that does not involve being sent home. It also depends greatly on the severity of the behavior. Most schools make the child stay after school for bad behavior.

Answer 2

It depends on the principal of the school and how much the teacher is willing to put up with. I had a behavior problem in my class this past year, and it didn't dawn on me until the last month of school that I didn't and shouldn't have to put up with it. I finally started sending him to the principal when he went all crazy on me, and he got sent home.

Also, something tells me there's more to the story about the not having a pencil than what you know (or are telling). No teacher in his/her right mind would send a student home for THAT. Sending students home is a last resort, one reserved for students whose behavior takes away from the learning of the other students (and should NOT be tolerated).

Answer 3

Mostly teachers/Principals sent children home so they don't have 2 deal with them, instead of giving them a person like a mentor to just talk to them all they want is attention from someone other than their parents. i know when I was in high school it was a every other day thing for me until I finally asked for a mentor to talk 2, and that is rediculous cause they know they could have been gave me a mentor instead of ridiculing me and sending me home. they knew I had a problem, but since that mentor I've became a whole different person.

Answer 4

Very difficult. A class teacher does not have the power to send a child home. It would have to be the Head's decision, and even then it would have to go through the Board of Governors and LEA etc.

Answer 5

We very rarely send children home - the last one was a boy who had a knife in his pocket and threatened another child. Most things can be dealt with by a chat to a parent, but some parents either don't care or refuse to believe their child's not an angel.

Answer 6

Only head teachers can exclude a pupil - not classroom teachers.
Most schools have a rewards and sanctions policy which starts with strategies for minor misbehaviour in the classroom and then has provision for referral to senior management for more serious misbehaviour. If you have a child at school then the school will make this policy available to you if you ask.

Answer 7

My newphew was sent home from school for not having a pencil, I mean REALLY! You would have thought someone in a comprehensive school would have a pencil for him to borrow? Instead a day of education wasted????
THAT'S HOW EASY IT IS FOR TEACHERS TO SEND HOME CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

I think that you should look closer at your grandsons behaviour than his his teachers

Answer 9

Maybe you should ask his parents to take more control over him. Perhaps there's reasons for the bad behaviour

Answer 10

I would have thought it's very hard seeing as teachers' hands are tied nowadays.
