Walter of Newcastle, Reader's Comment 104 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.

NSW teacher: In my three years of teaching, I have been sworn at, spat at and pushed over.

The lack of respect for the teaching profession makes me sick.

In my 3 years of teaching, I have been sworn at, spat at and pushed over.

I spend hundreds of dollars every year supplying pens and books for my students because they come to school unprepared for learning.

I spend hundreds of dollars on resources every year so I can make the most engaging lessons possible - only to have students not care and disengage entirely because their parents have told them that school is a waste of time and when they turn 15 they are going to get a job with their dad.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend, mine will start when all these lessons are planned.
