Stop blaming teachers for your child’s behaviour

I’m so fed up of my partner return home from school exhausted and mentally drained due to the appalling behaviour of some of their year six pupils.
Heaven forbid they are reprimanded. Then a slurry of emails accusing the teacher of ‘shouting’ at their innocent kids.
My Partner and several colleagues are at the point ot resigning.
They are experienced teachers who love teaching yet these kids make teaching intolerable.
If feels like these kids are not set any boundaries at home therefore come to school with a degree of arrogance.
Parents don’t seem to take any accountability for their children’s behaviour siding with them against the teacher who just wants to teach the rest of the class.

“Instead we have seen a dramatic rise in the number of children and adults with neurodiversity.”

It is not that straightforward. For example, in our small state primary we have several non verbal autistic children with 1:1s who will start stimming and making loud noises in assembly sometimes. The NT DC know how to handle this, even if they are reciting a poem etc. but the ND DC on the milder end absolutely cannot cope sometimes with the sudden noises. In the interests of inclusion, they are all there, but one group of higher needs then interferes with a lesser group of needs. It is the same in the classroom itself. Those with dyslexia and dyspraxia etc - if all of the teachers time is taken up by severe SEND needs, there is then less attention to go around those with milder needs but who absolutely need intervention as well.

The milder ND (and dyslexics etc) need the focus in mainstream education. Severe ND/SEN need to be in special schools.
