The behaviour of some of the children is just so appalling. 90 % of the kids are fantastic, but there is a smallish cohort of children - most Y8s (middle school) who are just behaving so badly that I can't see how it's going to change.
Current head is very much about restorative practice but these kids are literally laughing at him - 'let's see who behaves so badly they get to go for a chat with the old fucker'. Etc.
I walked past a classroom today being taught by a truly wonderful teacher of 20 years - there were two kids standing on tables, another couple standing with chairs above their heads. Shouting, screaming, swearing. He was standing in the middle of it all looking like he might cry. (I called for SLT, who took the offenders off for a chat and a biscuit). I don't know how to deal with it any more, my behaviour management has always been good but these kids are a whole other kettle of fish.
