To think this is outdated and needs to be removed?

My son's school has an all glass isolation room in the hall with three desks, children are put there as punishment? Teachers and students walking passed

So if they behave and follow school rules, they are not put in there? 🤔 You know what I'd say to my kids in that case? "Don't be disruptive, spoil your education, the education of others in your class, and the teacher's lesson. Then you won't get put in there. Simples!!'
Suppose you want them to have a day out or a treat? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️No wonder teacher's are leaving in droves with this attitude from lily livered parents.

It's now known as 'big feelings' and requires mollycoddling, blaming others, and lovely treats, NOT being told its unacceptable!

You really haven’t stepped inside a school since you were 16, have you?

I do hope you realise I was being facetious... or do you think pupils today should behave with impunity?

It would be a fantastic insensitive for kids to behave.

Of course I don’t. Your ‘facetious’ comment just had an air of school blaming about it. Like all the teachers just sit around letting the kids misbehave because we think the behaviour is entirely appropriate and there should be no consequences.

@cottoncandy260 absolutely not. It's the parents and bloody mollycoddlers who are creating chaos NOT the over worked underpaid teaching staff who are barely allowed to teach and are expected to be counsellors, best buds, scapegoats etc!

But they so solve something. They solve the immediate issue of potentially 29 other children having to forgo their own education because of one very disruptive person.

I don't disagree with you about the things that should be happening - but there is a reality here that this cannot be supported.

Two of my children are already in lower sets, struggling with dyslexia, and adding in a disruptive class (and no regular teacher - another issue) just means that they're more likely to come out of school with very low GCSEs. It worries me. And sorry, while I care in the abstract that the disruptive children probably have difficulty home lives etc. I have my own children and their futures and lives to worry about too. I don't see why their needs are lower down because they aren't the squeaky wheel.

And this is exactly why this world is going to sh*t!! Children don't seem to realise that actions have consequences, because it doesn't happen at home anymore! Misbehave in class, go sit in the glass room - don't want to sit in the glass room, don't misbehave!

Gee, I don't know .. ever thought they should simply, I don't know, behave themselves?

Having taught in mainstream schools, I can tell you that this is quite mild. They're not being excluded. They're not being sent off to PRUs. Oh dear me, they're in an area that may be easily observed, how awful.

The matter with me is that I don't spoil my kids rotten unlike you apparently

They’re ok to misbehave in front of everyone though? They’re fine with stuff like bullying peers, damaging property, physically and verbally abusing other students and staff. That’s fine to do publicly. It’s just the punishment that’s not ok?

@northernbeee , until actions DO have consequences, fast and unpleasant ones, then kids will take the risk and the piss. Better applauded by your peers than respected by your teachers.

That needs to change, quick-time.

Edited to alter the mood of my previous post.

This too!
