UK teachers: have you seen a rise in challenging behaviour from pupils?


Teachers across the UK have been reporting a rise in challenging behaviour and violence from pupils in recent years.

Nearly one in five teachers in England reported being hit by a student this year, according to a BBC survey, while a NASUWT survey showed nearly four in ten Scottish teachers reported experiencing violence or physical abuse in the previous 12 months, with similar levels in Wales and Northern Ireland.

We would like to hear from teachers about how this is impacting them and other pupils. Have you seen a rise in abusive, disruptive or violent behaviour in your school? If so, has it been getting worse and what do you think is behind it? How are you and other pupils affected?
