Dedicated of Classroom, Comment 67 of 122, Vicious little thugs in class of chaos as principals and teachers are abused, threatened or bashed in NSW, Bruce McDougall, The Daily Telegraph, 7 November 2011: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/vicious-little-thugs-in-class-of-chaos-as-principals-and-teachers-are-abused-threatened-or-bashed-in-nsw/story-e6freuy9-1226187069204 Historical link preserved from the original page.

At my last school I spent more than half of some lessons dealing with behaviour problems. This is not what I expected when I became a teacher.

I have recently left face to face teaching.

I have taught in public, systemic catholic and private schools.

I have taught in schools from the Northern Beaches, the Hills, Central Coast, Western Sydney, Eastern Suburbs and London.

In my first years of teaching, during a 45 min lesson you would have 10-12 mins of disruption or dealing with behaviour problems.

In the last school I was at I literally had 20 mins of teaching and the rest dealing with behaviour problems and non compliance.

Not why I became a teacher.
