Steers Report on Behaviour
Having had to watch Edd Balls and Alan Steers pictured on this evenings news playing ping pong with young people in a school hall I feel it is very appropriate that they have chosen such a press call but emphasises how out of touch and ineffective they are. I have trialled the interim reports of Steers and today’s full report and feel on behalf of all parents and tax payer insulted that either of these men are receiving large amounts of money to report what is blindingly obvious and what 99.9% of school know and practice. When interviewed this morning Balls could only say was “exclusion, exclusion” and admitted there was no where for the excluded pupils to go and no help. He casually remarked “we are looking into it” well they have been doing just that for 10 years and still we have units for support closing down and youngsters roaming the streets. If I was a teacher I would be insulted with today’s finding lets make parents pay, lets tell parents they must be more responsible, can’t argue with that you say, well we know the parents they are talking about are mostly those who cannot cope with their own life and definitely are not able to support their children. Most of the other agencies can identify these parents but do we ever do anything long term to help no the parents will not have the money to pay fines and the tax payer will be coughing up again. Lets start and put effort and money into help for units to support those pupils with serious problems and their family , well no its easier to say most school are good so I am praising teachers and telling bad parents to pay up. Edd Balls it will not work and the pupils and families will sink further and further into trouble and drag our children with them.

I know that schools must show that they are removing and excluding less children from their classrooms. Has anyone in government realised what this means? It means that students who are abusive, disruptive, and making a huge negative impact on the learning of the rest of the class are being sent back to class for the sake of a statistic. So the other children who wish to learn can’t – their teacher is busy. They don’t learn, they don’t grow, and they are less able to contribute to society in their adult lives.
I know of students swearing at their teachers at the top of their voice, refusing to do what they are told, damaging property/classrooms, bullying other students, and causing mayhem only to be allowed to stay in the classroom. Why? The collection of this statistic is abusive to well behaved students. The keeping of these students in the class is prohibiting others from their own human right to learn and grow – I just wish all the other parents of the well behaved children would write and express their desire for their children to learn in a safe and nurturing learning environment… and write to the press at large to express how statistics are more important than educating our youth.
These poorly behaved students learn better when they are in a unit designed to offer them the best learning environment that works for them (and keeps the classrooms safe for the well behaved students). If they are too abusive they should be sent out to a school that is designed to offer the best learning environment for them.
