An article in The Telegraph  a month or so ago (I only got through the papers from the last two months at about 4pm on Boxing Day, made a great distraction from the horror of listening my aunt talk about her hernia).

Anyway – this article says that children are getting more aggressive at primary school, and have too much power over teachers. Did they not read my post on ‘compostation’; or read about ScissorGate? But seriously people, some rationality please. These are CHILDREN.

The teachers interviewed in this asrticle have spent far to long living in their heads; making out the little monsters, to actually be very big monsters. I know kids are hard, I find them difficult sometimes, and they can be aggressive – but it’s up to us give them a sense of authority and help them with behaviour. Not run to the papers about it again, and whine about – again.
