Meanwhile other pupils suffer because the classes cannot be taught properly when they have disruptive pupils in them.
I don't just mean a bit of paper flicking or chattering amongst themselves. I'm referring to violence against other pupils and teachers. Real physical violence which is driving people out of the teaching profession.
What's the answer? How can these pupils be dealt with?

Normally theres more to pupils misbehaving in class than just being a bad egg. It normally derives from something the teacher has actually said or done towards the pupil.
I had a really disruptive lad in my history class, but it would've been unfair to shove him out of the class as he was also a really intelligent lad who just needed to be kept interested. If the teachers had labelled him as badly behaved and treated him like a delinquent he wouldn't have managed to complete the year as he'd have started to believe the bad things they say.
I've never met anyone in a class who honestly says they cant work because of someone else being disruptive, theyre most likely to just be making excuses to avoid another reason being brought up. I haven't met anyone who has honestly been deprived a top grade due to someone being disruptive.
I'm one of the quiet ones as well at college who would rather not say anything to someone being noisy and just get on with it. I have never suffered because of anyone else, it would be a pathetic excuse if i did claim that.
