Ms Birbalsingh said what is needed in schools are teachers who are “on the ground, who can make a difference”.
She said these teachers need to examine the discipline and teaching methods in schools, particularly when it comes to adult authority.“Where parents or teachers try and be friends with their kids, as opposed to – you want to seek admiration, you want to seek respect from the children.
And socially inept and void of all manners.
Why isn’t parents & carers held accountable for children’s behaviour at school? If the children are respectful and follow expectations there wouldn’t be a problem. Student discipline is a reflection of family & community values.
Cue all the left wing snowflakes that conflate discipline with child abuse in 3, 2, 1, go!!
Very interested where the 70th of 77 figure was sourced from? Which study? Such a demeaning headline towards the education profession. A classroom environment should & can be based on fairness & expectations with clear consequences, not cracking the whip. Welcome to the 70’s 🤦🏼♂️
