I expect to have a chair thrown at me at least once a year and for a SEND pupil to bite me.
My lot are quite young, so it doesn’t take much to protect myself as they can’t throw very well, but it’s a bit shit nonetheless.
Anyway, the figures are probably higher than released. Most schools try and suppress this stuff, and a lot of teachers can’t be bothered to deal with the harassment/paperwork from parents.
‘Across the country, reports involving injuries to school staff caused by acts of violence have included loss or reduction of sight, concussion, fractures, dislocations and crush injuries.’
Let’s not dance around the issue: this is autism.
Autism is a spectrum disorder, but beyond a point school isn’t of any use to such a child. They’re not getting a job. Round peg, square hole. We need a new path for them.
Stop burdening teachers and other students with a challenge they can’t possibly resolve.
Create specialist centres for such children – many of which will need that level of support for life.
What possesses us to think behavioural needs someone with a phd in neuroscience would struggle to resolve can be handled by a teacher or even a parent? We don’t tell people to do their own heart surgery!
At some point I think children who
assault teachers after several warnings should forfeit their right to an education
Frankly a kid being violent should automatically trigger social services.
Wifes a teacher as well.
**Stop excusing SEMH/SEN pupil violence:**
We also need to stop excusing pupil violence from SEN students. My mainstream colleagues have been stabbed, have had hard objects thrown at their heads, and have had hand and leg injuries from angry students with SEN needs lashing out at them. This kind of behaviour is also extremely intimidating for ordinary pupils, who become fearful of whether they will be the next victim. We also have such a TA shortage that even our EHCP students who used to receive 1-2-1 support to help them emotionally regulate are often left to their own devices as the poor TA has to circulate around 4-5 classrooms every quarter of an hour to check on them all.
Obviously pupil violence is not a monopoly from SEN students, non-SEN students can be just as culpable, but they’re *much* more likely to receive extremely severe sanctions. Whereas much of the SEN pupil-led violence to be completely written off or excused.
**Stop Blaming Victims (Teachers)**
EDIT: Also, teachers need to stop being gaslit into believing that *they’re* the problem when they’re the victim of these attacks, the bit about ‘unmet needs’ at the end often gets levied at the teacher…. I’ve found SEN CPD [training] to be useless as it’s often a SENDO or their deputy telling us that it’s because we *dont know enough* about the 500-600+ students we teach, and in some years we’ve had around 30% SEMH needs…..
**A consequence-free culture. Our children are learning the** ***wrong*** **lessons in education.**
Oh and in all of these cases, no expulsions were made. A few days suspension for the stabbing….that was it. The colleague left shortly afterwards. I wonder what message this sends to the general student population about actions and the complete lack of consequences.
