All schools have problems with 'inclusion' due to underfunding of children with SEN and behavioural problems. More needs to be done to force Stockport Council and central government to fund inclusion better instead of leaving the problem for school sto deal with. Schools can't afford to provide properly for children with SEN and behavioural problems and the council know that. This is why we have 15 year olds unable to read and write and why children with things like ADHD and autism are excluded far more than other children - schools can't cope. The council knows this. So why are they now saying that schools sould pay even more towards SEN than they used to? It's a joke, but not a funny one.

   Dear mary ,i think your comments are offencive towards joiners , electricians and plumbers,dont you ? I have these types as my friends and they are certainly not disruptive etc . Hang your head in shame , get to confession .

   The problem is trying to teach a child something they dont want to learn, I'm in favour of taking out the unruly children and giving them an alternative to the national curriculum. maths, English and science then maybe joinery, electical work, plumbing, mechanics, DIY, some kids can't see the point in geograghy, religeous education, history,

   Unruly kids have ALWAYS been a 'problem'.

Thankfully, to a certain extent the government & local 'keyworkers' are finally being brought in to tackle the disruption to 'mainstream education' caused by the kids who don't, for many, many reasons conform to mainstream education.

Some children are unable to learn in traditional teaching environments, this has ALWAYS been the case.

Using corporal punishment only led to further generations of children not learning anything apart from the discipline from their school years. And while i agree discipline is needed, there are ways of teaching it without resorting to violence, what kind of example does violence set?

Excluding 'unruly' kids to a 'special' school can be productive in some cases, for most they are better kept in mainstream education with an adapted curriculum & support from outside agencies.

The system is far from perfect & too many young adults slip through the net, but at least now things are moving in a better direction.

   i agree with arthur bring back the cane and give them a good crack, they may think twice about not behaving then. whats that i hear O you cant do that, that is y this country is y it is like it is, it makes me sick!!!!!

   Bramhall high school ????? Come on its not exactly the bronx is it , crikey reddish vale and st annes has got harder dinner ladies than all of bramhall top year . Just take the problem children back to daddys mansion and give him/her a good telling off .

   I heard on the radio this morning that this pathetic Government are planning on paying kids to stay on at school. This country has become a joke now. Unruly kids were not a problem as recent as 15 years ago. The solution is clearly to bring back the birch.
