I'm afraid I'm turning into a bore here, but I really am passionate about achieving good outcomes for disadvantaged children who all deserve better than what they have. I see so many young people who have tremendous potential who have been let down by their life chances, who I would love to take home and nurture - unfortunately of course this is not possible.
This is why the teacher in question should be offering more than what he did to his disruptive pupil, he probably lived up - or down - to the young person's expectations of him and the response he would get from his behaviour generally, and reinforce the idea he had of what was expected of him.
