2 terms in and I want to quit teaching

[ilovebreadsauce]

Posting on behalf of my 21 yr old niece.
'I am a first year ECT and in my class is a year 6 child who is extremely violent an extremely unpredictable.Everyday he hurts the adults in the ckassroom and would hurt other children if i didnt position myself between them to take it myself.i am in fight or flight all day and just can't stop crying as soon as I get home.The HT believes in killing him with kindness and no consequences of any kind. There is usually no SLT on site , as they are shared with other schools.The SLT cannot control him.There arev10 other kids with soecial needs, 3 of which have very challenging behaviour.i have asked fir restraintbtraining but the HT says I don't need it!!!
I wsnt to leave asap without completely wrecking any future career.
How can I do this?

Make sure she has copies of everything, especially the good observation reports. She may need evidence.

The problem with saying it's not a class suitable for an ECT is in a small school it's very hard to move teachers between classes. Unfortunately that is the role she applied for; the infant teacher is likely an EYFS specialist and would not be happy about moving to KS2. It can also mean the children being taught by the same teacher for all or most of their primary school years. It's a peculiarity of very small schools that teachers don't move about in the same way that they do at bigger schools.
