According to an NASUWT poll published in several papers today, 89% of teachers have been subjected to verbal or physical abuse in the last year. 24% have been physically attacked.. 86 % have been sworn at.and 42% verbally threatened. What a sorry state of affairs. The experience of the teacher who says she (or he) waits for quiet times to go into the corridor for fear of the abuse, the stampede and the shoving resonates with mine. I am interested to know how far this is reflected in MN experience and, moreover, where the magical 11 % or so work who have not had these turbulent experiences...what makes the difference? The government has of course issued a pointless statement...the saddest thing to read is teachers reporting that they are blamed at worst or, at best, told basically to suck it up as part of the job.
Don't know how to link from phone but findings easily found online in today's Guardian
