I am a teaching assisant and there are so many children now in the 'inclusion' zone, it is sometimes impossible to have a controlled classroon. There are ADD, Aspergers, extreme low level learners, just plain old bad behaviour alll in the mix as well as the normal good children that are just there to learn. The teachers hands are tied. They can't get rid of any of these children as the law states they have to be included. It can be hell. I feel most sorry for the good ones who are getting left behind because so much time is taken with all of these demanding children.

Unfortunately, education is a subject where everybody has an oppinion and feel that they have a stake. For this reason, everybody has put their two penneth worth into the classroom cooking pot.

One of the net result is that teaching, for the most part, is simply riot control/classroom management. Unfortunately, for the past 30 years, there has been a trend that places classroom power into the hands of the learner, rather than the tutor. So while, on the surface, the teacher is the master of his/her classroom, in reality, even if you wished to exclude a pupil, or get them the support that they need, their wishes may not always recieve backing.

Also, education is a partnership. Unless learning is supported in the home and a sence of discipline instilled, then the schools are onto a losing wicket.

My daughter,r being a special needs teacher,has more to put
up with than ordinary teaching with pupils who are a bit
unruly.With her i know for sure it is her love for her kids that she
teaches,it is definitely not the pittance she receives.
But as for the pupils who go out of the way to disrupt classes and make teachers life a misery that another thing.
I rely do blame bad,or lack of,parenting also lack of discipline
in the home.Children know teacher are unable to give corporal
punishment,a big mistake this,because of the law the law being an *** in this case.The only coarse a head can now take is expulsion,that solves nothing,and what happens later ?the disruptive pupil returns.So as i said it is down o the parents to sort those disruptive children out and and maybe peace will return to our schools.

...because in the United States everyone is entitled to a free education. Not only are they entitled to it, they are required by law to take up that right, and most parents don't want to home school.

Now as a teacher, I have to say many people don't understand how hard it is to remove a student from a classroom permanently, there is a chain of command that must approve as well as the parent.

What most teachers don't know or if they do know they don't seem to use enough... There is a law that permits a teacher to refuse a student for the day, meaning they can suspend a student for the day and the school MUST oblige, yes a teacher can do this every day. However this is a sue happy country we live in and that makes the teacher a little weary of exercising their rights.

Another thing one has to think about is why do you want to teach if you can't tolerate a bad seed every now and then. Most people don't understand that it is the bad seed the challenge in the class the trouble maker that needs the help the most, after all most of the time they are acting up because they need help, crazy as it may seem it is true.

For me I would ake a challenging student any day over a mindless drone...

Hope this helps answer your question.

Have a GREAT day!

Partly because, like varicose veins, it's an occupational hazard! In my experience, try talking one-on-one with the offenders and find out why they disrupt the class. Then, (forgive me for saying so), take a good look at the way you teach. A student-teacher relationship, individually, is vital. You're not just a teacher, but a psychoanalyst to boot. If all else fails, talk to a superior and see if you can get them transferred to another class. (Not everybody gets on with each other all the time!) I do understand and wish you luck, but being a teacher is a very undervalued profession, which includes emotions and skills far beyond the call of duty.

I would just like to say in response to the people who talked about school being "rigid and boring", or such like, that one of the reasons why it ends up that way is that disruptive pupils prevent teachers from being able to teach more interesting/exciting lessons. Only a couple of weeks ago I had a great, stimulating, interesting lesson planned, and my pupils completely ruined it because they couldn't behave properly - so I stopped the lesson and made them do some "dull" copying out. *Their* problem, *their* fault, I'm afraid.

It's called cause and effect.

The government has made it extremely difficult to rid a school of those students who disrupt others. Each school is also funded for every student on its roll. To be honest i believe that inclusiveness sounds nice but nice doesn't always work. I further believe that the government wants many students to under achieve, because somebody has to do the low paid and undesirable jobs. Immigration fills the gap, but puts further strain on services such as housing schools and hospitals.

In Thailand students are taught to respect their Teachers by their
Parents.
They study hard mostly because they know that if they are not reasonably well educated they won't get a job when they leave school.

There is no Nanny State to give them financial handouts, if they are unemployed and unemployable.

So 'disrupters' are simply not tolerated........

UK could learn a lot from the Thais.

this finished subject of this female must be solved if the college grew to become into able to bend the brat over and make her backside so sore she ought to no longer sit down for each week!! additionally a warning that from now on undesirable behaviour in school might effect interior an identical hiding being administered returned. the dad and mom must be made to pay repayment to this instructor - possibly advertising the electrical powered video games and leaving the brat with a mattress to sleep on and a few clothing to positioned directly to help instill the message that mendacity, cheating and undesirable behaviour has many outcomes. i do no longer think of she ought to pay for all of it her existence - it somewhat is for murderers, rapists, drug sellers and so on, no longer a stupid little female who grew to become into allowed to flee with too lots for too long.

Laws require children to be at school, if schools did not teach in such a rigid boring fashion it's possible that more students would enjoy it more. The students could also be dealing with troubles outside of school and have know way to easily express their feelings other than by disruption.
