Behaviour in a Secondary School

[Corridorchaos]

Changed name for this post (been here for years). I have worked in a support role in a state secondary school for the past couple of years. The behaviour has plummeted in the last few months and staff are leaving in droves. Before I also jump ship (partly due to awful behaviour but also because we’re massively understaffed), what does bad behaviour look like in your secondary please? And how is it dealt with? Thanks for any feedback.

And all teaching staff should wear body cams like the police and some shop staff

I'm luck enough to work in a school with an old school head, vastly experienced. Unfortunately, he is about to retire but the children behave in our school. He stands up to parents, tells them to take their kid elsewhere if they don't like the discipline, staff are supported, no nurseries, no fidget toys, no employment of babysitters to sit in the corridors with the naughty ones, children are yes wait for it, Told Off and yes expected to dam well behave!! The school is calm and children learn. The world has gone mad, let alone schools. Behaviour is deteriorating everywhere, and if you are Headteacher who has gone down the "soft route" then shame on you in my opinion. Your kids arn't learning anything if behaviour is out of control in your school, and good staff are leaving. Behaviour is out of control in many schools, guns and knives are out of control on the streets and that's after twenty years of this "soft" experiment. It isn't working. . I know that my school is very few and far between.
