Parents should face fines if they refuse to deal with their children’s bad behaviour in school, the Tony Blair Institute says.
The former prime minister’s think tank has warned schools are facing a “burgeoning crisis of behaviour and safety” as wayward pupils increasingly disrupt class.
A new report from the think tank says schools should be given the power to compel families to agree an action plan when a pupil’s behaviour becomes out of control, similar to councils’ power to fine parents over school absences.
