Surge in home schooling blamed on violence in classrooms

Anyone have any experience of the kind of violent behaviour they’re talking about or know anyone who has chosen to take their kids out to home school them?

I don’t have kids of school age so it’s not a personal thing - am just interested!

They certainly have more power than some head teachers admit. The difference seems to lie in how the head teacher manages bullying. If the head teacher steps in, takes ownership and deals with the bully quickly it seems to stop and if they turn a blind eye or pretend it wouldn't happen in their school it escalates.

The level of violence one of my children was subjected to was absolutely horrific and had an adult done that to another adult they would have gone to jail. The kids who did it got rewarded.

is the general environment outside school as aggressive for teenagers as it is inside classrooms or is it just a school problem?
