Doesn’t anyone else have a problem with a minority of year 13 boys behaving with a very disrespectful attitude towards them specifically? I’ve found that for the past few years I have had problems with one or two year 13 boys each year and there is no way they would speak to a male teacher in the same way, unfortunately. I’m actually so sick of it, the vast majority of them are lovely but it does really get me down on a day to day basis dealing with these nasty kids who have a rude and entitled attitude and can’t deal with being told that they need to change and start working or they will fail their A-level. It seems to be this year group and only boys I have this issue with. It’s making me want to leave teaching to be honest. Recently been called pathetic amongst other things and had a parent complaining about the report I gave her precious boy. Others arguing with me about both the subject knowledge (they think they know more than me - they don’t) and report grades etc etc. just wondered if I am the only one. I’ve been teaching 10 years and I think I’ve had enough. Get excellent results by the way.
