Teacher cannot control her class

And definitely requires support but I don't know how to deal with it without her feeling I am throwing her to the wolves.

She takes an exam support class, there are some (ahem) 'strong willed characters' in there from what my children have told me.
She shouldn't have to deal with 14 and 15 year olds being a nightmare but they are and she is spending much of the class shouting, name calling , threatening and running out crying.

It needs dealing with, the kids causing it need dealing with but in between the kids who don't care are children who find academic work difficult who really need this support and it isn't fair on them either. There are physical fights in the class.

Aibu to think she needs support and want better for her AND my children.

Thing is, if it's raised in a "she needs support" way, she'll probably be toast.

Absolutely she needs support, no one actually wants classes to be like that. It’s who you go to that’s key and she will need a supportive mentor, not an SLT acting like a sledgehammer. Only you know the staff st your school but I would carefully think of who to approach.

Phone and talk to school. Odds are they are aware.

She's in one of 2 situations. Either the whole school is a shit show with a lack of SLT support/sanctions/behaviour policy and this kind of behaviour is accepted.

OR

She is a member of staff struggling to keep control of a tricky class in a school with some kind of support.

If the latter she needs to use the school policies and get some support from SLT. If the former theres little she can do.

Often violent children are these not very happy children, they are raised either by the street, or their parents raise them poorly if they raise them at all, you need to talk with such children, try to influence them somehow or let them write explanatory letters. After school, it will be difficult for them to take exams for college, this is understandable, in such cases, of course, some services like uk.edubirdie.com/college-application-essay-writing can help but affect the psychology of children, all the same, it will be necessary. They can continuously order different essays and more, but they need personal motivation in the first place and, of course, love and support from others.
