stricter teachers

Argh, you're one of the unlucky schools with dodgy air conditioners and heaters? Yeah, a school I was recently in was about 30 degrees inside because it was 40 degrees outside. At least in some classrooms. Totally unfair to everyone.

How do you think teachers should be controlling the class?

Unlucky? It was horrendous! The heaters were centrally controlled by the office, so when the office got hot, everywhere else was deemed hot. It was crap, and air conditioning, whats that? The schools had fans which did nothing in 35+ degree days, as you could imagine. Only two or three rooms had aircon, oh, and the staff room conveniently.. :rolleyes:

Teachers should just have authority over the class (i think thats the right word) nobody bloody listens to them, they say "go to timeout" the kids reply with "whatever!". I agree with whoever posted about bringing back the cane tbh.

Ditto. But it will never, ever happen again.

Substitute teachers. Get rid of them completely and hire staff who actually have qualifications in that certain subject.

We would have 6 lessons a day and at least 2 of those lessons each day would be taught by a sub who knew nothing which caused the students to misbehave and no one learns a thing

That is almost practically impossible though. You'd need so many teachers it's not funny.

Imagine this, six year levels, each having maybe 3 or 4 classes each (each one has maybe 20 people). So that is 18 teachers (i'll be lenient and say there are only three classes) minimum. There are numerous subjects, and I am willing to bet that your school has the option to choose more then 8 or 9 subjects. And if you only have teachers who are qualified in that area that means that only SOME of the staff are allowed to teach each class. You need maybe 3-4 teachers minimum per subject, because each year level does different things at different times (obviously).


So you are looking at maybe 30+ staff? And each staff would most likely be employed full time which costs a lot of $$$ which means your school fees go up even higher then they would be which in turn makes you guys complain.

Substitute teachers are good, as long as they are from the school and not some random teachers.

[TheEclipse]

What do you mean by 'more strict' out of interest? Do you want 'shouty' teachers or something?
