Ireland’s schools have suffered from an increase in discipline problems in recent years.
Asurvey published week on student´s behavior found that 97% of staff suffered
unacceptable levels of verbal abuse, threatening behavior or problems with truancy.
Instead of penalizing theschools, theIrish government wants to offer more support. The
minister of education and science, Mary hanafin, says ´´ teachers have to address
problem behavior in the classroom and shouldn´t automatically expel the problem
student. Of course, there are some factors involved that schools can´t control, including
the behavior of children at home and on the streets. However, we believe the first step is
to provide more assistance to the teachers and student in the classroom´´. She has
suggested a number of different solutions to the problem. The first step is for schools to
identify serious discipline problems. Then, further measures can be implemented. These
include providing more support teachers in the classroom, recruiting learning mentors
for the problem student and improving.Although there is a long way to go, hanafin is
confident that these measures will be successful. She had this to day at a recent teacher
´s conference. Clearly, you face a number of key challenges in your schools, but we
need to address other wider issues in society. Young people need to understand the
values of respect and responsibility- parents and local.
