The problem is
that out of a class of 31 I have:

2 extreme behaviour problems - throwing chairs, hitting other children, telling me to fuck off etc
7 behaviour problems - answer back, refuse to work, general dicking about.
5 mild behaviour problems - sulking, walking out of the classroom etc.

So that's damn near half the class.

Still, I've only got them for another 9 weeks.

Ah.
You have a 'special' class, then?

Borrow some stuff from the chemistry classrooms. Lock them in the room. Come back in half an hour. Teach the survivors.

Christ...
Sounds like you've got an awful class. Technicaly I don't even think there should be a class that large with so many having behavoural problems, and the shame is that the asshole kids screw it up for the others... Do you have any backup? Teaching assistant maybe? Senior staff? Or are the senior staff as shite as in the school I worked at?

A coupke
of days ago I had to leave early to go to a meeting. So the Deputy head came in for the last ten minutes.

All he had to do was to get them to tidy up and stack their chairs.
He gave up in the end.

There was a supply teacher with them last week. By 5 past nine she refused to teach them.
