[@xhe1915]

As a special needs teacher that has had kids with massive behavioural issues, one thing we learn quickly is that sometimes these issues stem from lack of control and lack of agency in their environments. They're always being shouted at, being told what NOT to do, but a lot of the times, these standard methods of punishment and reward don't make sense to the kids who are so overwhelmed with anger and anxiety and lack of control. So giving them binary choices (and sometimes, forced choices e.g. do you want to work on worksheet A or worksheet B with both worksheets being on the same subject, at a similar difficulty level) is the first step to building a good relationship with the child and guiding them to make good choices without doing what they see adults around them doing to them most of the time, which is admonishing, yelling, scolding, and pushing them into corners. It teaches the kids that they have someone fighting their corner and that someone believes in them, and it can do absolute wonders when you start setting down the harder boundaries of more general class rules.

Many parents dosen't do their job.

So if the first doctors say no, the'll just go to the next one, and the next one untill they'll get that ADHD or autism diagnosis, so no one can any longer question the parents involvement in actually raising their own kids.. and if someone questions or disputes how the parent act, there will be a shitstorm & the parents can then blame schools, teachers etc for not taking enough time from everyone else, to teach THEIR child.. Instead of blaming themselves & trying to do better.. it's scary how easy it is to make young kids dependent on "narcotics", bcs the parent dosen't want to take their responsibility.. Either the kids have the need for medication, or not, and it should be determined by the actual need of the child, not what the parents want & their need to blame someone else & play victim..

Schools are too full though and too many people are having kids without having worked on themselves and they go on to putting their own childhood trauma's onto their children, I speak from experience.

There were. The child got put into a bare time-out room until they were calm enough to articulate the issue and actively work with the teachers to an agreed compromise or resolution. Repeated offenses saw the kid sent home. The days of beating a child into compliance are thankfully gone. Children are human beings, often in difficult home situations, who deserve help learning the coping mechanisms "normal" children from "normal" homes learn.

When I worked in daycares, I felt so honoured to be part of those children’s lives, to watch them grow & learn every single day from babyhood through to 4-5 before they set off for school. However, I came across some very disturbing behaviours from some children & 20+ years on they still play on my mind.. what happened with them, how they got through school, what are they doing with their lives etc. All children will, at some point, try & push boundaries, it’s a given, that’s why it’s important to create that structure, have those boundaries in place, have consequences for actions etc. However, you can't guarantee that continues at home. When a child of 3-4 is biting both other peers & adults until they bleed, lashing out, toilet trained but purposely wetting themselves & laughing (& even, in one case, going as far as to smear their feces..), you have to wonder whats going on at home for them to react like that.

There needs to be more AWARENESS of ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder and so on. There needs to be ASSESSMENT and DIAGNOSIS (by a paediatric psychologist/psychiatrist) and teachers need TRAINING for these kinds of psychiatric disorders and ADDITIONAL SUPPORT from specialists- in the classroom helping these teachers in the classroom every day. These children need very SPECIFIC behaviour management plans (specifically the adults need to learn how to motivate and care for these children) and the next step might also be the right medication. My daughter has ADHD (like her father) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder that varies in severity depending mostly on how closely others stick to her behaviour management plan. She is currently too young to try medication as an extra tool. Breaks my heart to see some of these children not getting the right support. I am trained in early childhood education and primary education so I understand how most schools etc run and the training teachers get and how a-typical children are not supported. If you would like a great resource on ADHD - Dr Russell Barkley is a great place to start (great lectures on KZbin). I will also add that how classrooms and learning are run should change to accommodate learning in ways that would better support children with eg ADHD.

How come in other parts of world we dont see these bullying/tantrums and outburst) specially at this young age in schools??there has to be a reason why children are acting up here..i took my child abroad for 2 yrs and they were astonish to see how disciplined the children were in class.(yr 6,9 and 13 ).

[@SuperBurger2011]

I think in Western countries there is always a feeling that no matter how many bad choices you choose to make in life, there will always be a safety net to catch you. I think this is what allows them to act up - they know they will be given endless chances. I think this leads to a sense of entitlement in both adults and children. In the East, on the other hand, there are no safety nets to catch you. If you act out, and end up being expelled (which they are much quicker to do in the East), you know your life is going to be tough from there. You'll be alienated by all your previous friends, likely not be let into another school quickly, and if you grow up not having achieved much there are no government payouts or anything to make your life liveable. Children are aware of this over there. They grow up knowing they must be disciplined and hardworking because it's a cultural norm over there; you get a good life if you conduct yourself properly. If not, you get nothing. There is no sense of entitlement.

[@Drebolaskan]

I spent 3 yrs in London right after kindergarten. The schools were so pretty and grand compared to what I was used to back home, I couldn't imagine any kid wanting to cause trouble with so much activities and resources available to them. I recall getting some mild bullying from the kids, but it didn't register in my childish mind and I just brushed it off. Then I moved back to Asia and got the shock of my life; everything was stressful, I didn't understand the change in culture/environment, teachers were yelling, the kids just shunned me, got caned almost everyday, family problems, noone to talk to, not knowing what I should do or how long this madness would go on for and I distinctly remember wondering why people are so afraid of dying when life itself is just full of pain and it's all just going to end the same way either way; but I had no idea how one would go about bringing their own demise, or I likely wouldn't be here right now. Oh, and I would stress eat every night till I grew almost 3 times my usual size. I forgot where I was going with this, but I think it had something to do how a strong-handed approach is sometimes needed but how it needs to be tempered with a strong focus on the well-being, mentally and emotionally, of the child. That's the gist of it at least

These children often have parents that are dysfunctional. They learn how to treat others if they witness adults treating others badly . I doubt if dysfunctional parents deal with their children appropriately. I think parenting classes should be compulsory if a child clearly starts school without any self control management at all. School should teach and parents should be a nurturing example to their kids. It’s good there’s staff to help children that parents clearly can’t be bothered with . I feel for staff and children that want to learn . Of course some children change which is brilliant. Thanks to staff and their parents .

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN: *government intervenes in ways they shouldn't within families and the way they raise their own children. (Yeah, yeah, there's lots of abusive parents, but for some reason, the government seems to almost always intervene in the wrong homes) 😮‍💨 * You take more and more rights away from parents. Thats is a 💯 fact! *when u tolerate and reward bad behavior in the hopes that it will somehow help them behave better. * when u DON'T HOLD THEM TRULY ACCOUNTABLE for their actions! * Schools continue to allow such behaviors, knowing is affecting teachers' and students' ability to learn what they should! Never in my 34yrs of age have I heard of teachers running out of classrooms, crying during class, complaining about how they have no control of the situation, etc. Talking about their personal issues. My daughter is 13yrs old and all I hear is "my teacher was crying today" "my teacher says she only there for the money" (which i know can't be true, cause teachers don't get paid enough) "there was a fight today, blood and students badly hurt" yet the school allows those kids to go back to school the next day!?!??!?!?!

When I was coming out of highschool I used to volunteer at a primary school where most of the kids came from underprivileged backgrounds. Seeing how sweet but damaged the kids were because of the homes they came from broke my heart and made me never want to go into teaching. Most of the kids were being bounced around foster care or being raised by other family. One 7yr old girl was in the custody of her 18 year old sister. That school did their absolute best and we provided breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks a day. For some of the kids that we knew werent being fed we would send them an extra lunch home at the end of the day for their dinner. I used to pray they would survive their effed up home lives.
