There have been quite a few examples of teachers and principals being assaulted by either students or their parents in Oz in recent years - it's not just a UK thing. Basically, I think it is symptomatic of wider community change.

heck, it"s even a French problem, and I'd not be surprised if Merkins had it too.

Yep a year old report in a right wing rag. Never mind Rum. I suppose the rest of the world is falling equally as we are still 5th in the world tables. Where was UK education?

[Scot Dutchy]

Well it is not a Dutch one but of course Rum will cherry pick some obscure 5 year old report to say otherwise.

Well the report above is a year old. Here’s another one about how racist the Dutch system is.

Here’s another one about how British education standards are rising, as opposed the the Dutch system, which is deteriorating.

Comparisons consistently put the UK a couple of places ahead of the Netherlands in terms of education. Pretty close as it happens, whereas you want us to look terrible. Here for example.

Headteachers are being subjected to death threats and teachers have to leave school in groups amid a rise in attacks and aggression from parents and pupils, school leaders have warned.
The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) has now backed a motion calling on the government to help reduce severe and frequent attacks against staff.
Michelle Sheehy, a headteacher from Walsall, said two members of staff in a secondary school had been “threatened with an axe” and subjected to “racist and homophobic abuse”.
She added that teachers left in groups in another school because they were too “afraid of violent repercussions from parents”.
Alice Middleton, from the Dudley NAHT branch, said she was recently approached by a parent on the school playground who threatened to kill her. The mother then denied the death threat, the head said.

Something is seriously wrong. I can't quite figure it out.

[Rum]

I put this sort of behaviour down to a couple of factors. Just my take on it.

The ‘respect’ that professional people and those with a degree of perceived authority has eroded here since the Thatcher era. Elsewhere too no doubt.

People are also less willing to be treated as part of the ‘herd’ and to just go along with the rules. If their child disagrees with a discipline issue it is far more likely that parents will support them.

Schools are tough places for a lot of kids. Parents are less tolerant of the ‘rough and tumble’ That we used to have to cope with.

There are cunts about.

On the plus side, shootings rarely happen in UK schools.

It's a sign of systemic failure.

From 2017...

Primary school teachers' suicide rate nearly double national average, figures reveal

The suicide rate among primary school teachers in England is nearly two times higher than the national average, figures have revealed.

Risk of suicide among primary and nursery school teachers was 42 per cent higher than patterns in the broader population of England during the period 2011 to 2015, according to data released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS).

There were 139 suicides among teaching and educational professionals during the period, and almost three quarters (73 per cent) of these — or 102 suicides — were recorded as primary and nursery schoolteachers...

The son of a close family friend has just quit primary teaching after four years training/probation and less than a year into the job - which is a shame, because it's something he's always wanted to do. The workload and a bullying attitude from the management has left him wrung out and depressed. When he raised his personal concerns with his deputy head he was told to focus his attention on the paperwork, and "the children will take care of themselves." People who enter the profession with commitment and enthusiasm are going under. That isn't healthy for them, for students, or for the community.

What did I say. A fucking load of crap again. Specially cherry picked by Rum. The British system is doing bugger all in international terms. It only scores when like the USA universities are added to the equation which is exactly what your link gives. English universities (a joke outside Oxbridge) are funded by foreign investors and have bugger all to do with the education system.

These are the 11 most educated countries in the world

BTW FUCK YOU AS WELL MR FUCKING MONDEO MAN. You pitiful apology for a Little Englander.

[Scot Dutchy]

Here is a great vid about the lovely English education system Mr Mondeo man:



Talk about discrimination? A fair system? All equal?

[Scot Dutchy]

Another one of a whole series Mr Mondeo man:



Compare that with Dutch kids.

[Brian Peacock]

I don't think you can hold (for example) a family living on an housing estate in Middlesbrough responsible for the British class system, nor judge the entire nation by the moral bankruptcy of the landed, monied few - not that it won't stop you trying eh Scot.

What I think one can point to though, as something which has a very real influence on civil and political life in the UK, is the emotionally brutalising effects of the established private school system, and particularly how many of those who've been through that systems, and whose wealth and status subsequently assured them an easy ride in business and/or politics, confuse a capacity for callousness and cruelty with personal virtue and innate ability.

Then again, the rich have always thought they were better than everyone else - the thing to do is not to believe it, even if they do.

[Scot Dutchy]

More of the big divide Mr Mondeo man:



How much do you need? Your system is totally fucked. All kids here have the same opportunity. Our crown princess goes with her sister to a normal Lyceum. No fees and open to everyone.

This Brian is a very British system almost unique to the UK. Here there are just one or two fee paying schools but all are subject to the education rules and closely monitored by the education inspectorate.
The city you live in is a prime example of the class ridden society that the UK is.
