Female teachers are being sworn at, sexually harassed and physically threatened in high schools by male students. They say young men are bringing the misogynistic ideas of Andrew Tate and other online influencers into the classroom.
No meaningful consequences is definitely part of the problem. I was once told of a student who threw a chair at a TV. Breaking both chair and TV.
Consequences? He was given a card that says he was naughty, and was told to give it to his parents. The card was promptly thrown in the bin. Nothing else happened.
The soft touch approach is too soft. They’re being set up for failure in the real world. Can’t wait for them to try this shit at uni/tafe/job.

I still remember a father bringing a toilet to school after his dear kid brought a fire crackers to to school and fucked around…
The lesson was not to throw fire crackers into the toilet!
What a different time lol
The hell? The parents should pay it (hopefully scolding the kid) and the student give a handwritten apology.
