Innovative solutions for disruptive student behaviour in classrooms | 7.30

According to OECD data Australian classrooms are among the most disrupted in the world. In an attempt to combat the problem a Victorian school has introduced a new approach - teaching students how to behave in class.

    It’s a good idea. You always have one or two particularly disruptive students in a classroom who don’t even want to be there who can seriously drag everyone down too.

    I totally agree, it sounds old fashioned, but children still need discipline. Teach them how to behave in a serious social environment not only how to memorize thousands of useless lectures

    This line-stuff is how we used to enter class in my primary school, way back in the mid 80s till i left (mid 90s?) inner-city of Perth suburbia. The school did do a lot with local universities tho, we always had a lot of experimental-education stuff all through (likely coordinated by local universities?). Didn't always do well, but honestly it was nice to know that the boffins were trying their best :D TBH it was not like that when i entered high-school, and this was good, because the high-school environment was one where they made sure we knew that WE WERE EXPECTED to be mature. We were essentially treated like adults. We'd start class from inside the classroom, expected to make our own way in beforehand & be already be at our seats by the time the teacher arrived & started. The high-school did a really good job at getting all the kids onboard with this respect stuff, it mustn't have been easy. I learned that mid-way through my high-school years when i moved to another school way across Australia, and the other students were all basically goblin-mode 24/7, the sudden lack of maturity was shocking. So whatever respect they'd subtly inspired in us at our first year of the Perth high-school had worked, i have no idea how. They were freaking wizards, man! I'd recommend anyone to google the 2003 essay *"Why Nerds are Unpopular" by Paul Graham* . TL;DR: when schools are nothing but prisons for kids (no real goals), the kids will create a "prison culture".

    Thank you for taking action. The problem I have faced is 'what happens when just ONE will not cooperate'! What can the teacher do about it? If just ONE gets away with not listening the others realize it and the problem 'spreads'! James

    What it looks like is that high school teachers got taught how primary school teachers taught the kids routines. The kids lost their school routine they learned over the years so now its being retaught. Also, the entering classroom is essential for loud kids. I taught year 5/6/7/8 in one challenging rural school and the noisy kids would have to go out a few times before they entered as expected. If they enter noisy, they stay noisy.

    I hope the teaching staff at my kids school watch this video, several teachers have lost control of their classes and have basically given up due to a relatively small number of kids who do not know or care how to act appropriately in a school environment :/

    It's the principal not the individual teachers who would institute this kind of whole school behavioural expectaions initiative - there needs to be leadership from the top, and everyone supporting each other as a team, no teacher is an island. I'm currently teaching in Asia - student misbehaviour barely exists here ... society values educaion, respects educators, parents take responsibility for their kid's behavior etc. It's very different from Australia.

I lived and worked in SE Asia for several years, and I totally agree, their cultures are totally different, and in several ways, better. Many parents here in Aus are very ignorant and lazy, they spoil their kids and let them get away with just about anything as long as they dont bother them, the kids then act like they can do and say anything, both the parents & kids could learn a lot from many Asian cultures in this regard.

    It comes down to culture too. Australia is an individualistic culture whereas Asia is a group culture. There's pros and cons to both. Individualistic cultures tend to think out of the box better. Group cultures tend to learn what's known better. This is why multiculturalism is so good. You can harness the best of both worlds. I think the problem with disruptive kids is we force them to stay in school. When I was a kid the biggest bully and worst student dropped out at 15 and got a good boss. He became a different person. He was a tradie by 20 and owned his own business by 25. My foster kid goes to high school next year. He has little chance of school success. I can't wait till he can leave school and get a real education... An apprenticeship. (Note: I'm a teacher. Schools aren't the only way to educate)

    Schools are a focus of learning which is why it is mind boggling that they don't let kids repeat a year, because of the social issue of having 18 year olds in a school. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. School is not for social issues it's for education. If 18 year olds are in school perhaps you need to separate year 11/12's from the rest of the school. Education is thrown under the bus when you prioritise not having 18yr olds on the premises. Kids who are forced to forge ahead under difficult circumstances instead of being able to repeat a year, what is the social consequence of that? The self esteem consequence of that? The education department lets down kids and parents every day.
