Teachers not educating

How is the National Union of Teachers campaigning to raise discipline within schools so that their members face less stressful days at the chalkface?

Is the kid that truants for five out of six weeks actually going to turn up and do my exam? - Magenta Stonestreet, a secondary school teacher from North Tyneside.

Mr Laycock said he had enjoyed the children he had worked with but they had been difficult youngsters who did not want to learn, and it had been hard work.

When asked about what caused stress, 71% of teachers cited a lack of respect from pupils.
