We've been asked on to the today programme to talk about a proposal to remove child benefit from parents of disruptive pupils at primary level. Not sure this will make a realistic difference, but what do you think should be done about dealing with disruptive behaviour in the classroom?

Going on at 8.30so all thoughts welcome
thanks

Thanks minnie, agree with you. Spoke about same story tho on r5 earlier and they wanted to know about the parents who didn't appear to care that their child was swearing at the teacher or kicking and wanted our ideas on what could be done then?

Thanks so much to everyone for your input - what an amazing bunch you are

Just hope your children still made it to school (wouldn't like any of you losing your child benefit or anything ......)
