It has been apparent for some time that disruptive behaviour in class is inhibiting the educational progress of other pupils, and bullying is widespread in its pernicious effects.
We have now reached the proportion that teachers who have tried to deal with disruptive behaviour are finding that there is a lack of support. Even if referral to the head teacher results in exclusion, with decisions beyond the school and appeals from canny parents the offenders are soon back in school to continue their disruptive ways.
Worse, false and malicious reports by pupils lead to teacher suspension and often a drawn out inquiry and on many occasions to loss of the teacher's job.
Much of the fault here is the complete application of the human rights act on behalf of the offenders. What of the rights of teachers and other pupils? These latter seem to be frequently as completely overlooked?
Our educational service is in disarray and collapsing. Ideology is a powerful influence for bad, but when it is empowered by the human rights act the result is truly damaging and unfair.
