Aggressive parents make Australian schools dangerous places for principals and even more dangerous workplaces for classroom teachers. Historical link preserved from the original page.

Dr Philip Riley, of Monash University 's education faculty, conducted the Australian Principal Health and Wellbeing Survey. Historical link preserved from the original page.

Dr Riley was shocked by the level of violence reported by principals.

One in three of Australia's state school principals was physically attacked or witnessed physical violence in their workplace during 2011, the survey found.

And most of the violence involved aggressive parents rather than students or teachers, principals told The Age.

Overall, the nation's school leaders experienced an incidence of physical assault six times higher than the general workforce.

''They told me the incidence of violence is probably worse for teachers because they're on the front line. By the time a parent has threatened a principal, they would have threatened two or three teachers, '' Dr Riley said.

Teaching has become a horrible profession.

I am a Beginning Teacher in an extremely difficult school, and I have to say that after only 2 years out of uni, I am already planning alternative career paths.

Teaching has become a horrible profession.

Adolescents are completely aware of their rights and the most we can do to discipline them is a joke to them.

Parents don’t discipline their children and don’t support teachers in trying to implement school-based penalties like after-school detentions or such.

I see bullying occurring and am completely powerless to do anything about it.

And the victims know it as well.

All I can do is tell them to fill out incident slips but they don’t bother with them because they know nothing will get done about it.

It’s just an endless cycle.
