Anger management lessons for pupils at British school

London: A British
school is compelled to offer anger management lessons to its
pupils as young as five after 40 of its rowdy students were
excluded for bad behaviour.
Psychologists and other mental health professionals have been
drafted to help pupils at the Hillcrest Primary School, in the
run-down Leeds suburb of Chapeltown in Yorkshire county, the Daily
Mail reported.
The move came after inspecting officials labelled conduct at the
west Yorkshire school unacceptable. A total of 40 pupils were
excluded in just a year.
The school is now receiving the highest level of 'behaviour
support' from Leeds City Council -- the only school in the city to
do so.
Inspector John Young said: "The deputy headteacher overseeing this
aspect (behaviour) has a good understanding of potential
flashpoints.
"Some pupils are taught in 'nurture' groups while others receive
counselling in anger management and improving social skills. Joint
working with a learning support unit and an educational
psychologist is helping the school to break the cycle of poor
behaviour some pupils have fallen into."
