London: Many teachers in
Britain are reluctant to use measures against misbehaving pupils
who do not hesitate to threaten or assault them, according to a
teachers survey.
The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers
(NASUWT) said some teachers have found their ability as a teacher
questioned after reporting children, BBC reported.
Delegates described children smoking in class or plotting
gang-related crimes in school.
A survey of about 12,000 teachers from across the country found
that one in seven teachers has been physically assaulted.
And eight in 10 said they have been verbally abused by a pupil in
the past year.
Maria Hesson, a teacher from Birmingham, described cases where
pupils had "threatened teachers with assault and violence",
"invaded personal space" and smoked out of the window during
lessons.
There have also been "gang-related issues" in the classroom, she
said, where pupils were apparently plotting to take other
children's mobile telephones, BBC reported.
Union executive Paul Desgranges said that one school head told
pupils at a school assembly that if they were behaving badly, it
was because their teachers were "not reaching them".
Head teachers' leaders have rejected claims they are not doing
enough to support teachers to tackle bad behaviour.
