A question for teachers in the UK

A question for teachers in the UK?
Are the students in the UK really as undisciplined and out of controll as they say? I would like to hear from teachers and their experiences in UK schools. Also what measures is allowed to dicipline students with behavior problems and do you find a difference in behavior in public and private schools?

I'm not a teacher but a parent...with many friends and relatives who have children in school here....the answer is that some schools are very bad...but they tend to be in poor areas....I am sending my child to private school because our free schools are overcrowded in the main...I dont want my 3 year old in a class of 33 children. The teachers are not allowed to handle or touch the kids in any way.

Did the UK really remove teaching of the Holocaust from the school curriculum

Did the UK really remove teaching of the Holocaust from the school curriculum?
I recently recieved an email telling me that the UK had stopped teaching about the Holocaust in its schools. The email said it was in an effort to apease muslims who don't believe the holocaust ever happened. I have trouble believing this is true, is it?

School rebuilding program in the UK, stopped by government cuts.

School rebuilding program in the UK, stopped by government cuts.?
Watching BBC news last night here in the West Midlands i think the government should reconsider their rebuilding program of replacing school buildings many way past their sell-by date. Ok you have to draw a line somewhere on government spending cuts but schools, Hospitals are vital to the future of this country. Your thoughts please.

I totally disagree. Whilst some schools do need to be updated, others are needlessly being given millions to rebuild 40 year old schools, or to move buildings to make them all on one site. Surely a lot of this can wait a few years? In my area, Labour made a pledge to update or re-build EVERY school. One is only 20-30 years old, and doesn't need the re-build it's been promised and could easily wait another five or so years before carrying out any building work. Another is the school I attended myself until 4 years ago, it's over 100 years old but has had a lot of money spent on it over the last few decades, and is a perfectly acceptable condition. Despite this, it's being given millions of pounds, to move the sports building from a two minute walk up the road onto the main site. Students have been capable of walking there and back for the last 40 years, I don't see why they can't do so for a few more. Schools that are seriously in need of work will get the money they need, no-one's proposing that they are left to fall apart. But there are plenty of schools that don't desperately need the money - and it's not like schools with hundreds or even a thousand pupils are not capable of raising the money to fix minor things like replacing windows, or a roof. I don't see why schools that are taking money for re-builds or updates they don't desperately need should be allowed to keep those millions and millions of pounds, whilst everyone else is being asked to focus only on what is essential. What makes them so special that they can waste money that, let's be honest, we just don't have?

Pupils spend 190 days a year at school.No they do not need new schools just because it may need new windows.Let us look first at the conditions pupils live in at home.Most of these new schools are in so called deprived areas.Deal with the deprived areas first.Old folks homes are being closed down forcing pensioners to sell their homes[which they intended to give to their children] and go into private nursing homes.All this is a big ego boost for teachers to say that they work in a new school and it is not on.Why don't teachers give up a couple of their weeks massive holidays and set about painting the classrooms?
