Scottish Teachers

According to that jolly newspaper, The Scotsman; a teacher in Scotland is attacked every ten minutes. (He must be getting really fed up of it- I'd just leave and get another job).

Now you've always got to be careful with 'official figures' as these ones seem to include pupils 'shouting and swearing' at their teacher, which hardly counts as a violent assault in my view; more of a demonstration of their parents' inability to turn down the TV at home.

Glasgow is the best place to get attacked with over 1100 incidents in the 2009-2010 school year. Edinburgh lies in second place but has complained that they have fewer kids so the comparison is unfair.

I love the bit where a 'Scottish Government spokesman' says that most kids are well behaved. Well that makes it all ok then.really

Somebody should write a book about kids behaving badly in schools.

What they should do is find out whose coordinating these attacks and take their watch off them

Every ten minutes? Including lunch? Have these kids no compassion?
