She made great start when she transferred to senior school, the first term was very successful. She's a pleasure to teach. When managed effectively in class there were no problems he's great, charming and hard working. So, as the situation was deteriorating by the day, she was moved temporarily to a behavior unit. Too many people sitting around tables week after week, endlessly talking, have little or no idea about dealing with children behavior problems.
As usual there was a great deal of talking but very little action to rectify the problem. As usual there were loads of adults involved but nobody could do a thing to manage this child's behavior. There were terrible scenes, temper tantrums, violence and aggression was being endured every day. An example is a child who, last year, was totally out of control in school.
But more upset is being created by this problem not being addressed! Well it might offend or upset someone, and we can't have that, can we? That's when uncomfortable questions have to be asked - and these are the questions that so many schools are unwilling to ask. It has to be asked -- what happens then when the teachers aren't up to the task?
It's down to what they put up with before they actually do something about what most people would say is unacceptable behavior. It's down to what the teachers do and how they react to children behavior. One aspect of managing children behavior that can't be disputed is that it's an adult problem meaning that in schools behavior management is the teachers' responsibility. In the world of teaching in schools and managing children behavior sometimes things have to be said that people don't want to hear and questions have to be asked that people don't want to answer or can't answer.
