[@kandkcollins1]

It’s definitely up to parents to raise their own children, and not teachers, I don’t think anyone would disagree with your statement. However, it’s also the law and the right for every child to be educated and to attend school. Not every child is born into a perfect family that doesn’t have any problems in it or have parents that are dealing with mental issues or have teaching and social skills, AND, I’m sure you know that it’s been against the law now, for many years, to force barbaric practices of sterilization on ANYONE. Society cannot dictate who can or cannot create a new life. If a child is born with learning problems, mental illness and behaviour problems or born to parents with these issues, it’s not as easy to teach them how to ,be respectful and responsible, as you’ve stated. We also don’t know what a child is dealing with or what health issues they may have at birth until they are older. So, please try to understand that, WITHOUT judging the parents or the children. After all, positivity, kindness and support goes much further than judgemental negativity, cold hearted hate, ignorance and downright nastiness. Have a blessed day! ❤️

[@daphne10120]

Mental health issues, issues at home, and trauma all cause children to act out like this. It’s very important to get to the root of the problem. Without doing so, the behavior likely will escalate as the child ages. I knew several children growing up who behaved like this, and it was because of severe trauma/neglect or abuse and was likely exasperated by other mental health issues and being improperly medicated. The school never tried to get to the root of the problem and the parents (if present) did not care to either. Now these boys are largely in jail. One recently opened fire on police officers in a church parking lot.

[@ifitbringsyoujoy3045]

Steph, these children are beyond discipline problems. They have severe emotional and behavioral issues that the parents should be dealing with, but the educational system has taken over the parenting responsibilities, because society is afraid to do what is necessary: kick them out of public school. Parents you had your kids, and so deal with them. Do not expect society to put up with your crappy kids.

[@kasey7338]

@@shawnaweesner3759 If a child is having serious behavioural problems which persists despite of usual disciplinary methods, there is a medial reason for it. Neither parents or teachers are not trained to diagnose these conditions and the medical system is set up to ensure diagnosis are difficult and time consuming. For example, in Canada, the current wait list for diagnosis of ASD is 1-2 years, which means the child is already in the school system before they have any therapeutic treatment. Aside from delays in diagnosis, there are limitations in parental knowledge, access to treatment, poverty, and a number of other social issues which compound the problem. So your idea of "it's up to parents" and "remove the problem from the classroom" not only will fail to address the issue but further create social problems as these under educated children with behavioural porblems become under educated adults with behavioural problems and their own children.

He had tons of problems at school, and with other kids. Their home was a landfill of harbage. I loved that kid. I truly did, and I understood that there were so many circumstances in his life that caused his behaviour. However, all the other kids should not be impacted in their education.

[@cisrot]

From what I experienced when I was in primary school and secondary school, a lot of the children that behaved poorly at school typically had something going on at home. Some of my friends in school would be cheeky / naughty in school, but when you’d sit down and talk to them they would often talk about how sad they were at home for whatever reason, be it abuse, loss of family members (death, divorce, etc) and undiagnosed conditions like autism and ADD. I know that some of my friends from primary school got a diagnosis of ADHD or dyslexia as they got older. A lot of anger from children stems from genuine frustration. I’m autistic and have major anxiety and I know that sometimes when I would get in trouble at school it was because of overstimulation / not understanding that what I was saying or doing was overstepping a boundary. I didn’t get in trouble very much though haha, typically just occasionally forgetting homework, not realising how loud I was talking and accidentally hurting someone’s feelings. There are, however, some students who have learned that being a bully gets their way. It’s always frustrating and heartbreaking. Thankfully though, at least in my year group, most of the people who had some behavioural issues grew out of them once they realised that their behaviour wasn’t nice and that they would enjoy their time at school if they communicated better. I’m forever thankful of how my parents raised me in this regard. I never had after school detention, I never had to go into in school isolation, etc.

[@maggiesmom213]

"overstimulation" you wrote. I believe that you truly have something there. Todays children certainly do have far more of that than yesterdays' children had. Being sad, loss of family members, and alcoholism was common then also; but those things did not bring about the disruptive behavior that we are seeing in todays' children.

be quiet would grass on kids who didn't follow the rules I had trouble getting her into school but she went in now in the last 6 years ive had chunks of hair pulled bites broken bones bruses had police come 50 times in one year had 4 police officers hold her down for half an hour and she still went for me ive tried everything professionals don't want to know her because she won't engage she hasn't hardly been in school for 2 years and since she was 5 months old I noticed she was different I was let down from day 1 January this year she was diagonised with autism with pda aniexity and esba and still no help for her or me she says she will go back to school in September high school I'm dreading it incase she can't cope in that environment again and her behaviour eslates again and I'm worried if she may start in school this time it doesnt make my parenting bad but I've learnt to parent low demand i had too my daughter at the age of 8 wanted to self delete she never came out of her room got dressed washed herself tell everyone to eff off she never leaves the house ive had to cancel numerous kidney appts for her my own hospital appts I havent seen a doctor in 3 years in last 6 months my daughter has come out of her room baths twice a week frim having 2 baths a day brushes her hair once every 2 days gets dressed once a fortnight if she doesn't bath she still can't leave the house and this mum as gone to social services asked the pshygolist to do home visits adult social services wants to give me respite but children's social services don't want to know so can't get respite there's nit a lot of help well no help even when your asking for it I think it's time to stop blaming the parents time to listen to the parent when they voice a concern normal parenting courses didn't work on my child doing the same or slightly different parenting courses for 6 years now patents like me who try their upmost to parent their children and it fails because patenting courses are just aimed at one thing only punishing a child that can't not won't comply with society thinking I'm looking at pda society and dr Ross greene and a top notch physiologist in the uk about parenting a child thst constant mode is fight mode because she struggles with getting dressed eating drinking everything that we all take for granted that cones natural my daughter sees it as a demand eg drinking want a drink but can't get a drink because she's put that demand on herself that to take back control of her aotumy she has to demand me to do it yes I try to encourage her to do that herself but I know when to say alright ill do it for you it's like the terrible t stages they will scream when you put shoes on them they can't communicate that they don't want those shoes on so society so fit to say these two year olds are being bad children when in fact those shoes might well hurt or not comfortable but we still force those shoes on now when we buy shoes for ourselves what do we go for shoes being comfortable do we not but a two year old can't tell you that so what are we doing to that two year old we are abusing them aren't we the same with clothes if we don't feel right I'm or dint like how it hangs on us do we still buy them or wear them again are we forced to wear them it's like when a kid screams in town after doing 6 or 7 hours at school and you have to get something in for tea that child just wants to go home have a little rest but are forced to be out for more time than they wish for they are tired you can't blame them for being tired but they can't communicate that yet ate punished for something they can't articulate ots like some adults can't work full time or even part time because of mental health disabilities etc but yet kids are forced into full time education and they can't say I need a rest I need 5 mins to myself and behaviour starts they get punished kids are kids they are not adults most know right from wrong but even when they say I need to be alone an adult I'm every aspect of their lives is always forcing them forcing them to hold in their urine forcing them to sit down when their body aches forcing a uniform on forcing them to go to grandma's house forcing them to wear school shoes getting told of for asking questions etc tell me what adult would not say anything about if it was happening to them we wouldn't stand for someone shouting in our face in front of our work mates we wouldn't get shouted at for being late or told to stay back yes we would get no pay for that hour most work places let you wear what you want and comfortable shoes etc I just think if we all took a step back and look at what we are doing to kids making them put all that information in their heads and school is very different to how it was 30 years ago the amount of pressure even being put on kids 11 years and younger is disgusting half the stuff they Keston in primary schools I didn't learn at all in my whole schooling when my eldest children were in school they are coming up 30 in the next couple years homework was reading and spelling your name that was reception year now it's spellings reading and maths then it's even more for each year group how can they say enough my brain can't take anymore information my brain can't work anymore like I said kids need to be treated as kids nit to see what school or country is best at grades pr where they are on tables our kids are human and rest yes they need to show respect and manners but it works both ways and giving a choice of going into a classroom is the right thing to do

In my grandson case it was home issues. He is now in a live in school for children with discipline issues. Until the child tells someone why they are so upset the behavior will not stop. He has broken into neighbors homes ran away fights curses. Everything starts at home. Spend quality time with your children, be honest with them children are not stupid, even as young as 1 and 2 they know what is going on. And stop labeling them and stuffing them with all these meds. Because most children are upset not challenged. If a child can play video games all day or do what they want to they do not have adhd. It's they see others do bad things to get attention so they are doing it to get attention. Think about it if they act out they have your undivided attention that's what they want. So give them that before they do bad things.

I believe when a child is acting out in an aggressive way, the parents should sit down with the child and talk to them about their behaviour. Ask the child lots of questions, to get to the bottom of their child's problem. And then offer a reasonable explanation as to why they should not be behaving that way. Children need lots of understanding from their parents. This process should be repeated many times, until the child completely understands that their aggressive behaviour is unacceptable.

This is not a mental illness. This is a lack of discipline. The first child should have been picked up and placed in a class room and then sent home of he couldn't behave. Don't know if they have truancy court over there but after being sent home enough, that's where he would end up, if he were here. The parents would be held responsible because of his age and if the problem continued the behavior, he'd be placed in an inpatient facility to treat his "mental health problems." Personally, if he were my child, I'd have them call me, I'd go to the school and light his rear end up and I'd sit in the desk beside him and every time he disrupted we'd go to the bathroom for some more education. These brats have no right to interfere with the educations of children who choose to behave themselves. Tax payers should not being paying the salaries of these wranglers for these poorly behaved kids. That's absurd.

Either go to class and do what’s expected, or go home and don’t come back until you’re able to do what’s expected! If need be, let his parents get him under control and let them home school him. Teachers are paid to teach, not chase after someone else’s problem.

Those children need to be removed from the classroom. This is disruptive, disrespectful and is hindering the behaved children from learning and competing their tasks. If you can’t raise your children to have respect and manners, then that’s your problem and others shouldn’t have to suffer because of your demon seed of a child. Also, you wanted this child so YOU better prepare to have the funds to manage them if needed, NOTTHE TAXPAYERS. Also, keep your kids in-line while shopping or in restaurants OR keep them at home !

I worked at a school where many children had behavioural difficulties. A rude kid called me a ‘disabled c*nt’ when I was walking my dog. I explained to him that I’m not disabled. I think that shows the level of behaviour I was used to that I corrected the disabled part!

This was my day to day. I spent 6 months of the year walking round the school keeping an eye on the child that had ventured out side of the school building. I would be blue in the face keeping a calm voice and words of encouragement to get them back in. I do miss it but I know if I went back to that my own children wouldn't getthe best of me, and thats not fare for them.

Parents nowadays need to be parents not their child’s friend . Discipline needs to start at home from a young age, it’s no good allowing a child to do what they want, they don’t see danger. Parents man up and discipline your child

The kids r in control of the teachers I have a nephew like this and there were no control at home

This is what happens when we've had enough of experts, when populist journalists are telling people they "don't need education". Combine this with 40 years of ever-deepening poverty and debt under neoliberal ideology and you have a serious social problem. Noticeable too is that it falls to women staff to deal with the fallout, and that under the usual "cuts", also a feature of neoloberalism, their noble (and successful) interventions are under constant threat. The neoliberal elite has no real interest in a well-educated, well-adjusted population - in the words of George Carlin, "that's not in their interests". Hats off to the school staff featured in this programme, they deserve so much more support and recognition.
