But Natalie Morris says her daughter was suspended during her first week for „nervously laughing“.
Doubt
Can I just say that when a parent says a child has been suspended for „zipping a bag too loudly“ or being „one minute late“ they are talking bullshit and leaving a hell of a lot out
When schools do this it becomes self selecting so crap parents don’t send their kids there and parents who value academics do.
Who wants to bet all the other parents are super pleased these crappy kids have been given the boot?
As someone who’s son has a child now following him around the school calling him a cu*t, repeatedly, in his first week of secondary…
I love this head teacher. Actions have consequences. If you can’t be nice to other kids at school, go home.
Cheekie chappies?
Bet they’re all cheekie chappies and the teacher just has it in for them. The mating call of the scrote family.
Along with …. “ „She has SEND needs, additional needs and sensory needs. So that was a massive setback for her when she did get suspended.““
Amazing how the scrotes know which buzzwords to spout to try and excuse Lil Nevaeh’s behaviour.
Good. We need to empower schools to exclude more kids, not less.
It’s hard not to assume most parents who deny any wrongdoing of a child are accurate. It’s a recurring theme in most schools that little jimmy couldn’t hurt a fly but in reality set fire to a cloak room twice in a week and stole a teachers phone or something.
Reminds me of when people die and every press release was “they were a beautiful and pure soul” and you find out they’re spent most of their lives in prison for aggregated burglaries.
Source: was the shit in school who did this with undiagnosed adhd.
‚Like a military base‘ means ‚they don’t let my child get away with the outrageous stuff let get away with at home‘.
This just reads like a few parents who refuse to see that their kid is a disruptive pain in the arse.
Every school has them and they fight the school over every single detention their little angel gets. They reinforce the bad behaviour by telling them they did nothing wrong so the kid keeps on behaving like that because they dont respect the rules.
Nobody is getting suspended for zipping their bag to loudly. The fact that they are trying to claim they are should tell you everything you need to know about the parents that are complaining.
Before we looked into high schools we were aware of one of our local high schools having a reputation for being strict and having arbitrary punishments.
However, when we were looking at high schools for our eldest we spoke to parents with children at the school and most said their children had never had any issues, not even a formal warning. It turns out the school’s reputation came from a very few parents of persistently disruptive children who had transitioned from the very lenient local primary to a fairly standard high school. The school wasn’t strict, it just took no nonsense, and wasn’t a pushover like the primary school. It was very much the children and the lack of discipline at the primary school that were the issue, not the high school.
I had a kid in my form who I’ve known for 4 years now point blank lie to my face about what he did to end up in seclusion.
Kids can be right goons. Maybe 25 is overboard, but if you want to send a message… That’s a good way of doing it.
Not surprised. Lots of feral, poorly raised children with god awful parents.
There’s going to be people on the comments who will take the position that this was a no bullshit approach, and it may be.. however there have been number of academies, including one down in Cornwall who did go overboard to the point hundreds of parents got involved, including some teachers.
Some of the discipline will be merited, but others won’t be
Erm no. He’s a principal ACTUALLY doing his job properly and not taking any shite either, sounds like these entitled parents are part of the problem.
Good. Solid head teaching. This is why there’s a “new head teacher” because the old one lacked spine.
30years ago I started yr 11 in my secondary school with a new head. He came to a comp after being head at an all boys independent school. He changed things. He was hard but very fair. The opportunity for everyone to succeed was there regardless of academic or sporting ability. Success of subjective. Everyone can measure their own success.
With that opportunity came discipline. The rewards and opportunities were great, the punishments were equal. Discipline reigned. Fabulous head of school he was!
“Butter wouldn’t melt in my little poppet’s mouth!”
For:
* Children
* Groups
* Educational outcomes
Then BEHAVIOUR has to be moderated by the individuals. Even better? Each individual is clear about this before attending and has also agreed to these standards for the benefit of the group and the activity.
That is fundamental.
Secondly, group behaviours tend to be reinforced by making an EXAMPLE not an EXCEPTION to the worst offenders for the rest of the group – to see positive feedback on them ALL doing the right thing – it’s not about just little jimmy or alfie and their f-up attitude and the enormous waste of time, energy, attention and resources on that tiny problem alone to the detriment of others.
Not sure why the UK Education sector has had such a long history of not treating this simple fact of life of “working together well”, seriously?
Good on the school if they succeed in raising standards and holding people responsible for their actions. That is at least one lesson they can teach to those who have decided they do not want to be part of this process…
Wish they’d done this when I was at school. Too many scrotes got away with disruption and open bullying.
Good.
So much of teachers time is spent dealing with the 10% of kids who are scum
Leave them behind, help the rest
Bet the teachers are LOVING teaching without the annoying twats in their classes!!
Similar things have happened before, but even more agressively.. it worked so well the head teacher is now a Sir head teacher.

He suspended 300 troublemakers in his first week to send the message that the „anything goes“ culture had to change. It worked – last year Robert Clack School got the best A-level results in Barking and Dagenham borough and some of the best in the capital.
I mean just one look at the pics of the parents tells me the kids were being a pain in the arse. Good for the head, it’s about time we stood up to this behaviour. Nervously laughing and zipping a bag too loudly?!! yeah right! The apple never falls far from the tree. There are very few parents I meet of idiot kids when I don’t think ‚ah I see, they never stood a chance!
„For someone to be suspended for disruptive behaviour, they’d have to be completely defiant and disrupting us four times, in our policy, before we’d consider it.“
So it isn’t exactly on a whim as the parents are making out, thats 25 x 4 = 100 issues (minimum logged)
What we don’t know is the length of time this all happened in, if it really was within the first week then fair enough, if it was say over two years (with historical issues), then thats way too harsh.
Whilst the text discusses the wonderful angel kids and their parents affected, it doesn’t discuss how the lessons were being affected nor the interruptions being caused to the other kids who do actually want to learn
They say don’t be prejudicial but if you were asked to mock up the archetypical parent who would oppose this new policy would anyone have come up with anything other than the two parents pictured?
It’s infuriating, I’m a Doctor and had to see a poor lad for „Anxiety“ whose parents had been ordered to take him to the GP by the school.
Speaking to him, a lovely lad, polite, intelligent, had a career path in his head and was working towards his goals, and the actual problem was he was being tormented at school by a bully, his parents had spoken to the school repeatedly, but been told that there was nothing the school could do as the bully came from a „difficult“ family who were known to Social Services and the bully had ADHD.
Complete bullshit, the kid didn’t have Generalised Anxiety or a medical problem he was having a completely understandable emotional and physiological response to being subjected to a horrendous ongoing stimulus.
As someone who was bullied for years at school over three decades ago it was really sad to see.
Told the parents to speak to the head teacher and verbatim quote me on my assessment that they sort out the situation as whilst unfortunate that the bully had their own challenges and difficulties it doesn’t mean they get a free pass on being an asshole to others, and if they have a problem with that then the head teacher could ring the practice and speak to me directly and they could hear it from my own mouth, any issues then they could come back to me and I’d start writing letters to school/MP etc
Parents and lad left happy and I never saw him again, I think about him often and hope he’s doing well, as it was a few years ago.
My take is very often in society we here about peoples rights, which I have no issue with but there needs to be a discourse on responsibilities, such as yes you have rights but we, as a society, expect you to uphold the responsibilities expected, to not be a twat, and be considerate to other people and make effort to be a positive member of society.
I have kids, I love them, so I discipline them and have rules and they have responsibilities, because my job as a parent is not to allow them to do whatever they want, but to bring them up to be good people who can contribute to society and be a „net good“ in the world.
A persons first experience with accountability and consequence should not be in court when they’re a teenager or young adult, but that is what will happen if they are permitted to run riot all the way through childhood.
