Again.
Nobody seems to have any respect or scared of committing crime anymore.

It seems the more it happens, the more it happens.

Absolutely awful

No one should be put at risk like this for doing their job

Wonder if the dogooders who got rid of all the discipline in schools are happy now?

Where are they?

the link seems to be broken.

What discipline do you think should be in schools?
What would you like to see?

What discipline is gone?

Ay my daughter's high school you get a detention for the smallest of matters.

Are you suggesting a revival of the cane?

Many of them will be dead. I was the first year of no caning and I’m pretty old.

The thing about being a doogooder is that they asked for smaller class sizes, more services for children, better resources for SEN, more focus on violence against women and children. If you blame one, you also need to blame the other. Because if we had those things, there’d be less violence.

BTW I remember a teacher getting thrown through a glass door at college in the 80s.

Awful.

I would be a teacher for a gold pig.

Bring back the birch. And bring back borstals for the bad kids so that normal teachers don't have to deal with them. Schools should be for pupils that actually WANT to learn and get on in life.

Yet if an adult came and beat you with a stick I bet you'd be the first to ring the police 🤦‍♀️

I remember reading that the year after they banned corporal punishment, assaults on teachers halved.

Do you hit/beat your own kids if you are in favour of the birch?

Fine the parents if they dont do anything or pretend my little darling would never do anything wrong

Horrible and a really worrying trend. No one wants anything like beating etc, absolutely that would be dreadful, but there should be consequences. The safety and wellbeing of adults and children in schools needs to be prioritised over a violent child.

I've been reading about politicians thinking schools exclude at whim, which is clearly nonsense. I also read a thread about a child being violent and aggressive not long ago on here and the parents were moaning that their child had been stopped from joining their class for a few days. Children like this quickly learn they can do what they want, when they want and to whoever they want at school as there is nothing they can do about it.

Or miss trunchbkls chokie cupboard!!!!

I think perhaps the inability of HTs to expel a pupil for violence is more the issue.

My dsis was attacked by a parent in a small rural school. Pinned to a wall by her throat. It took the other 5 members of staff to drag him off. The local authority refused to take action, ban him from the school etc, and it ended her teaching career. She was 58.

It's the total failure of MATs or LEAs to protect staff that is the issue.

A waste of time. Either they won't pay or they can afford it, and pay the fine. The child carries on as before and the school waits for the next attempted murder.

The only way is for the school to be able to expel a pupil, who then moves to a PRU.

But PRU places are so expensive that councils don't want that to happen, and are willing to put everyone else at risk to protect their budgets.

What an appalling story but I didn’t feel shocked reading the headline. Nothing new sadly. I have posted about this before. When I was pregnant with DS (now 11) I was pushed down the stairs by a 14 year old boy. He had already had a meeting with governors and was told one more episode of bad behaviour and he would be excluded. He didn’t even receive isolation and was back in my class. I left the school after mat leave but still have friends there. Before Christmas they had 17 days of strike action planned so don’t think anything has changed.

Violent crime is falling in the uk, there have always been people who don’t care about the consequences of their actions.

This was a horrible crime, but there have always been people willing to do despicable things. The media seems hell bent on convincing everyone that we live in some sort of hellhole, bring back the cane, capital punishment etc, when the stats show that we are safer than ever.

What world are you living in not to realise the worlds gone to shit and teachers are leaving in droves.

Makes you wonder what the fascination is really with people keep wanting children.

I’m a Governor … Zero attacks on any of our staff in the 10 years I’ve been there … yet when I was at school in the 80s someone chucked a brick at the Deputy Head.

2 boys stabbed at school today. Kingsbury

It is just getting worse. :( Surely they have to do something at this point? How many teachers need to be attacked and/or killed before enough is enough?

Boys today.
It's either teachers or pupils at school.
