    Pupil behaviour 'getting worse' at schools in England, say teachers

    Nearly one in five teachers in England has been hit by a pupil this
    year, a survey commissioned by the BBC says.

    One teacher told BBC News behaviour was a "never-ending battle". Another
    said spitting, swearing and chair-throwing were among the things
    happening often.

    A union says its members are reporting worsening violence and abuse from
    pupils since the Covid pandemic.

    The Department for Education (DfE) says it has invested £10m in
    behaviour hubs to support schools.

    Using the survey tool Teacher Tapp, BBC News asked up to 9,000 teachers
    in England in February and March a series of questions about their
    experiences with behaviour in the classroom.

    A greater proportion of primary and secondary teachers reported pupils fighting, pushing and shoving compared with two years ago.

    Lorraine Meah has been a primary school teacher for 35 years, for the
    last five of which she has chosen to do supply work - covering lessons
    on an ad-hoc basis - because it is more flexible.

    Over that time, she says pupils' behaviour has worsened.

    Supply teacher Lorraine Meah says sometimes pupils as young as six are
    throwing chairs
    She says she has seen nursery and reception-aged children "spitting and swearing", with the worst behaviour from five and six-year-olds with
    "dangerous tendencies" like throwing chairs.

    "You will get three or four children in your class displaying
    challenging behaviour. That's hard to deal with when you've got a class
    of 30," says Mrs Meah, who teaches in the Midlands.

    Another Midlands-based teacher, Zak Copley, did supply teaching for a
    year and also says behaviour is "definitely getting worse" and sometimes
    feels like a "never-ending battle".

    On one occasion, the computer science teacher said he had to pull pupils
    apart after they began "throwing punches" at one another.

    "The room got absolutely ransacked," he says, remembering that displays
    were "ripped off the wall".

    On another occasion, a pupil who had been sent out of class tried to
    break back into the room with a cricket bat, he said.

    In Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, St John Fisher Catholic Academy for 11 to 18-year-olds is working hard to improve its behaviour.

    In 2022, it was rated "inadequate" by Ofsted, whose inspectors found
    poor behaviour by pupils, including frequent fighting, made others feel
    unsafe.

    "There was a culture of bullying and an atmosphere of intimidation,"
    says Karl Mackey, the school's fifth head teacher in six years.

    "We had a lot of internal truancy - kids going into toilet cubicles
    vaping and using mobile phones."

    Karl Mackey has brought in new rules and changed the curriculum to
    tackle poor behaviour at his school
    Since Mr Mackey joined a year ago, his new behaviour policy has seen
    pupils rewarded for good attendance.

    Corridors are closed off to stop children being able to wander the whole
    school if they leave a lesson. There are strict rules about going to the
    toilet during lessons and mobile phones are banned.

    He has also brought in more subjects including dance, drama and music.

    Year 9 pupil Tamika was excluded from her previous school, and says
    pupils at St John Fisher have "settled down" since the rule changes.

    "I find it easier to co-operate with teachers and speak to them if I am struggling with a lesson, and I can get my head down," she said.

    "There are less students going round kicking off. If they do, there will
    be steps in place for them to reflect on their behaviour - like going
    into isolation, or being sent home."

    Mr Mackey says the school tries its best to avoid suspending children if possible.

    He says the whole school community, including local residents, have
    noticed children behaving better.

    "There's been a real shift. This year you'll see them in lessons every
    single day, not late, in perfect uniform, trying their hardest," he added.

    In the Teacher Tapp survey, the BBC also found:

    30% of all teachers said they had witnessed pupils fighting during the
    week they responded to the questions
    Two in five respondents said they had witnessed aggressively violent
    behaviour that needed an intervention in a single week
    15% of secondary teachers said they have experienced sexual harassment
    from a pupil when working at school.
    Dr Patrick Roach, general secretary of the NASUWT union, says teachers
    are reporting that violence and abuse in schools "have risen notably"
    since the pandemic.

    "This is being compounded by cuts to specialist behaviour and mental
    health services for children, which have left teachers doing their best
    to fill the gaps and meet the needs of pupils that really require the
    skills of specialist counsellors and therapists," he said.

    Former DfE behaviour adviser Tom Bennett told BBC One's Breakfast
    programme, on Tuesday, it had been a problem for "decades" after being
    "brushed under the carpet".

    "Up until about five or six years ago there wasn't much by way of
    [teacher] training in behaviour management, which would probably
    astonish a lot of people," he said.

    "We need to make sure schools are looking at teaching the behaviour they
    need, having boundaries and having consequences - a fairly simple
    structure but quite hard to put into practice."

    Debra de Muschamp, from the head teachers' union, says teachers have
    been left "shaken, frightened and isolated" by abuse from parents
    The DfE says "decisive action" is being taken to improve pupil behaviour.

    A spokesperson added it had doubled its mental health and wellbeing
    scheme for head teachers this year, backed by £1.1m.

    In 2020, the DfE launched a £10m behaviour hub programme to allow
    hundreds of struggling schools to be paired with others to learn new
    ways of dealing with poor behaviour.

    The programme finishes this year.

    Abuse from parents
    One in five respondents to the BBC's survey said they had experienced
    online abuse from a parent or guardian since September. A similar number
    said they had experienced verbal abuse.

    Head teachers' union NAHT says some members are experiencing growing
    problems among a "minority" of parents.

    "It can be face-to-face, on the telephone, on social media... enough is enough," says Debra de Muschamp, a regional NAHT secretary who runs
    three primary schools in north-east England.

    NAHT, which is running a local campaign to tackle parent-on-teacher
    abuse, says head teachers have had tyres slashed and been physically
    assaulted.

    In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
    GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
    secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
    us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
    pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
    100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
    appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).

    Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
    COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the UK & elsewhere is by
    rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given
    moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
    contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
    "convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
    Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
    scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
    Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
    combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
    that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
    longer effective.

    Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ
    ) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

    So how are you ?

    Pupil behaviour 'getting worse' at schools in England, say teachers
    1 day ago
    By Lauren Moss & Elaine Dunkley,
    BBC News

    Nearly one in five teachers in England has been hit by a pupil this
    year, a survey commissioned by the BBC says.

    One teacher told BBC News behaviour was a "never-ending battle". Another >>> said spitting, swearing and chair-throwing were among the things
    happening often.

    A union says its members are reporting worsening violence and abuse from >>> pupils since the Covid pandemic.

    The Department for Education (DfE) says it has invested £10m in
    behaviour hubs to support schools.

    Using the survey tool Teacher Tapp, BBC News asked up to 9,000 teachers
    in England in February and March a series of questions about their
    experiences with behaviour in the classroom.

    A greater proportion of primary and secondary teachers reported pupils
    fighting, pushing and shoving compared with two years ago.

    Lorraine Meah has been a primary school teacher for 35 years, for the
    last five of which she has chosen to do supply work - covering lessons
    on an ad-hoc basis - because it is more flexible.

    Over that time, she says pupils' behaviour has worsened.

    Supply teacher Lorraine Meah says sometimes pupils as young as six are
    throwing chairs
    She says she has seen nursery and reception-aged children "spitting and
    swearing", with the worst behaviour from five and six-year-olds with
    "dangerous tendencies" like throwing chairs.

    "You will get three or four children in your class displaying
    challenging behaviour. That's hard to deal with when you've got a class
    of 30," says Mrs Meah, who teaches in the Midlands.

    Another Midlands-based teacher, Zak Copley, did supply teaching for a
    year and also says behaviour is "definitely getting worse" and sometimes >>> feels like a "never-ending battle".

    On one occasion, the computer science teacher said he had to pull pupils >>> apart after they began "throwing punches" at one another.

    "The room got absolutely ransacked," he says, remembering that displays
    were "ripped off the wall".

    On another occasion, a pupil who had been sent out of class tried to
    break back into the room with a cricket bat, he said.

    School takes a stand to stop teen toilet vaping
    School transforms behaviour with compassionate approach
    Teachers speak out over rising pupil violence
    In Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, St John Fisher Catholic Academy for 11 to
    18-year-olds is working hard to improve its behaviour.

    In 2022, it was rated "inadequate" by Ofsted, whose inspectors found
    poor behaviour by pupils, including frequent fighting, made others feel
    unsafe.

    "There was a culture of bullying and an atmosphere of intimidation,"
    says Karl Mackey, the school's fifth head teacher in six years.

    "We had a lot of internal truancy - kids going into toilet cubicles
    vaping and using mobile phones."

    BBC/Dan Nelson Karl Mackey, head of St John Fisher Catholic Academy in
    DewsburyBBC/Dan Nelson
    Karl Mackey has brought in new rules and changed the curriculum to
    tackle poor behaviour at his school
    Since Mr Mackey joined a year ago, his new behaviour policy has seen
    pupils rewarded for good attendance.

    Corridors are closed off to stop children being able to wander the whole >>> school if they leave a lesson. There are strict rules about going to the >>> toilet during lessons and mobile phones are banned.

    He has also brought in more subjects including dance, drama and music.

    Year 9 pupil Tamika was excluded from her previous school, and says
    pupils at St John Fisher have "settled down" since the rule changes.

    "I find it easier to co-operate with teachers and speak to them if I am
    struggling with a lesson, and I can get my head down," she said.

    "There are less students going round kicking off. If they do, there will >>> be steps in place for them to reflect on their behaviour - like going
    into isolation, or being sent home."

    Mr Mackey says the school tries its best to avoid suspending children if >>> possible.

    Pupils blame absence on routine shattered by Covid
    Boost sport to get pupils back to school - report
    Putting pupils in isolation 'harms mental health'
    He says the whole school community, including local residents, have
    noticed children behaving better.

    "There's been a real shift. This year you'll see them in lessons every
    single day, not late, in perfect uniform, trying their hardest," he added. >>>
    In the Teacher Tapp survey, the BBC also found:

    30% of all teachers said they had witnessed pupils fighting during the
    week they responded to the questions
    Two in five respondents said they had witnessed aggressively violent
    behaviour that needed an intervention in a single week
    15% of secondary teachers said they have experienced sexual harassment >>>from a pupil when working at school.
    Dr Patrick Roach, general secretary of the NASUWT union, says teachers
    are reporting that violence and abuse in schools "have risen notably"
    since the pandemic.

    "This is being compounded by cuts to specialist behaviour and mental
    health services for children, which have left teachers doing their best
    to fill the gaps and meet the needs of pupils that really require the
    skills of specialist counsellors and therapists," he said.

    Former DfE behaviour adviser Tom Bennett told BBC One's Breakfast
    programme, on Tuesday, it had been a problem for "decades" after being
    "brushed under the carpet".

    "Up until about five or six years ago there wasn't much by way of
    [teacher] training in behaviour management, which would probably
    astonish a lot of people," he said.

    "We need to make sure schools are looking at teaching the behaviour they >>> need, having boundaries and having consequences - a fairly simple
    structure but quite hard to put into practice."

    Teacher and union representative Debra de Muschamp stands smiling
    outside school
    Debra de Muschamp, from the head teachers' union, says teachers have
    been left "shaken, frightened and isolated" by abuse from parents
    The DfE says "decisive action" is being taken to improve pupil behaviour. >>>
    A spokesperson added it had doubled its mental health and wellbeing
    scheme for head teachers this year, backed by £1.1m.

    In 2020, the DfE launched a £10m behaviour hub programme to allow
    hundreds of struggling schools to be paired with others to learn new
    ways of dealing with poor behaviour.

    The programme finishes this year.

    Abuse from parents
    One in five respondents to the BBC's survey said they had experienced
    online abuse from a parent or guardian since September. A similar number >>> said they had experienced verbal abuse.

    Head teachers' union NAHT says some members are experiencing growing
    problems among a "minority" of parents.

    "It can be face-to-face, on the telephone, on social media... enough is
    enough," says Debra de Muschamp, a regional NAHT secretary who runs
    three primary schools in north-east England.

    NAHT, which is running a local campaign to tackle parent-on-teacher
    abuse, says head teachers have had tyres slashed and been physically
    assaulted.

    I am wonderfully hungry!


    While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
    8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
    17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no
    COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
    Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
    Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to
    always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways
    including especially caring to "convince it forward" (John 15:12) with
    all glory (Psalm112:1) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in
    the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

    Laus DEO !
