Running the gauntlet of angry parents is never pleasant, but it’s something you have to get used to when your child is the disruptive one in class.
The one that made PE class come to an early end when they climbed up the bars and wouldn’t come down. The one whose behaviour on the school trip meant they had to leave early. The one dominating the teacher’s attention because they just couldn’t understand the lesson.
This week, a report from think tank the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) decreed that teachers should be given powers to compel parents of disruptive children to engage with them – tackling the “burgeoning crisis of behaviour” in British schools. It argues for educators to have the same legal powers they have over non-attendance to force parents to turn up to meetings with the school about badly behaved pupils and agree an action plan for their child.
