I feel so bad for the teachers. Their hearts are in the right place, but they don't get paid enough to deal with this.

There needs to be an anger management class for kids. Find out what they are angry about and help them let it out. These poor damage kids. God bless the teachers showing the children they have value.

My aunt's a teacher and she said the same thing - recently more and more children are relying on her to "raise" them (be a consistent role model, teach them right from wrong , discipline effectively, etc.).

As a teacher of 27 years please allow me to ask- when a child is out of control- why place him back into the regular education class to take from others. We spend so much time and money for the few who will behave like this for years.

As a special needs teacher that has had kids with massive behavioural issues, one thing we learn quickly is that sometimes these issues stem from lack of control and lack of agency in their environments. They're always being shouted at, being told what NOT to do, but a lot of the times, these standard methods of punishment and reward don't make sense to the kids who are so overwhelmed with anger and anxiety and lack of control. So giving them binary choices (and sometimes, forced choices e.g. do you want to work on worksheet A or worksheet B with both worksheets being on the same subject, at a similar difficulty level) is the first step to building a good relationship with the child and guiding them to make good choices without doing what they see adults around them doing to them most of the time, which is admonishing, yelling, scolding, and pushing them into corners. It teaches the kids that they have someone fighting their corner and that someone believes in them, and it can do absolute wonders when you start setting down the harder boundaries of more general class rules.

Levi certainly gets a lot of attention. Incredible reinforcement for his behavior😳

To all those teachers 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Discipline starts in the home not at school, kids need boundaries.

I can’t stand parents blaming the others for their own lack of parenting

This isn't a teacher's job . This is shocking .

Nurture group is such a great way to deal with these kids. I hope we do this more everywhere. So nice for the mother’s who try so hard and want there kids to be educated. I hope they keep getting the funding.

I watched a program about the nurture room in Glasgow. It was so touching to see the children blooming . Tho teachers there are amazing. You cannot put a price on supporting vulnerable children and families.

How is threatening to send kids home a punishment? They’d love that!

It’s sad. These children are disturbed by what they see at home. It’s good to see that they are working with the parents as well.

These children do not magically turn up to primary school and then manifest these behavioural problems. Intervention needs to start BEFORE they even start school. The funding needs to be spent on educating the ignorant parents that have fostered this antisocial behaviour, albeit sometimes unwittingly. This much is very clear.

I disagree with a lot of the comments here. Undiagnosed learning disabilities and mental health issues are often at the root of the problem. Having parents and teachers working as a team are essential

17:05 the lady in charge of that situation there was amazing! She handled it perfectly! She showed the kids not onli Jordan's amazingly positive attributes, but offered the kids an emotional connection to Jordan (and one another) by showing that everyone gets embarrassed sometimes. Even she put her hand up, showing that adults also cam get embarrassed and that it's not only because of negative things but because of positive things such as praise, as well. Beautifully done 🫶🏻

Kids act like this when parents expect schools to raise their children, but don't allow them to discipline. Wth you think is going to happen?

I wish nurture groups existed when I was at school, so many kids would disrupt lessons and myself and others who wanted to learn lost out. I also think there needs to be a similar scheme for the 'quieter' often socially anxious children to have their voices heard and work on their confidence as they are missing out whilst the confident disruptive kids get all the attention and one to one support. Schools are too full though and too many people are having kids without having worked on themselves and they go on to putting their own childhood trauma's onto their children, I speak from experience. I felt like I was raised by children and then I had to become a parent to my parent whilst I was still a child and it's put me off having my own kids. Please people think before you have children, your actions have an impact on those children and society.

Soon no one will want to be a teacher anymore. They can’t be expected to do the job that should be done by the parents.

Broken families, no dad figure. No punishment in school, children get rewarded rather than punished at school if misbehaving. I work in school and it is getting out of control.

I remember being at school and it was so quite. When lunch time came, I'd say half the school was missing. Turned out the trouble makers were shipped to Alton Towers for the day because Ofsted was coming in and they didn't want them effecting the grade. 🤦🏾‍♀️ It was quite a nice day being able to learn for a change without all the disruptions but the truth was that was not our reality. The sore was a lie. Schools should be fined or something for doing things like this. Ofsted is a joke, doesn't mean anything. Be aware of this when deciding your children's school.

It's so criminal the way the US and the UK treat teachers. They need much better pay and FAR better benefits for putting up with all this madness.

These teachers and specialist staff who are trained in working with behavioural children deserve the world. They go through so much and they get hurt physically and mentally they honestly are the kindest people! 🥺

When kids behave like Levy, they should call the mother to pick him up, doesn't matter if she is working or not. It's her responsibility to take him to a specialist. Perhaps it would be better for him to visit a special school with smaller classes. These children are ticking bombs if they don't seek professional help while they are still young.

Bless the teachers' hearts.

Where . Are. The. Parents?

It seems like a lot of anxiety. I feel bad for these kids

My aunt's a teacher and she said the same thing - recently more and more children are relying on her to "raise" them (be a consistent role model, teach them right from wrong , discipline effectively, etc.). At what point did we forget how to raise children properly? Or is it that we got lazy or simply stopped caring? (Yes, single-parent homes are much more common than they were 20 or 30 years ago, but plenty of amazing children come out of those situations, too.)

I pity for the rest of the kids in the classrooms when the switch is flicked off on these special kids.

When I worked in daycares, I felt so honoured to be part of those children’s lives, to watch them grow & learn every single day from babyhood through to 4-5 before they set off for school. However, I came across some very disturbing behaviours from some children & 20+ years on they still play on my mind.. what happened with them, how they got through school, what are they doing with their lives etc. All children will, at some point, try & push boundaries, it’s a given, that’s why it’s important to create that structure, have those boundaries in place, have consequences for actions etc. However, you can't guarantee that continues at home. When a child of 3-4 is biting both other peers & adults until they bleed, lashing out, toilet trained but purposely wetting themselves & laughing (& even, in one case, going as far as to smear their feces..), you have to wonder whats going on at home for them to react like that.

It shouldn't be just the teachers trying to deal with the child's behavior...it should be parent involvement because children have learned what they have been taught or not by their parents for proper social behavior...this concept just puts a bandaid on it & doesn't address the root problem...

Parents need to wake up!!!! And parent!!!!

There needs to be more AWARENESS of ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder and so on. There needs to be ASSESSMENT and DIAGNOSIS (by a paediatric psychologist/psychiatrist) and teachers need TRAINING for these kinds of psychiatric disorders and ADDITIONAL SUPPORT from specialists- in the classroom helping these teachers in the classroom every day. These children need very SPECIFIC behaviour management plans (specifically the adults need to learn how to motivate and care for these children) and the next step might also be the right medication. My daughter has ADHD (like her father) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder that varies in severity depending mostly on how closely others stick to her behaviour management plan. She is currently too young to try medication as an extra tool. Breaks my heart to see some of these children not getting the right support. I am trained in early childhood education and primary education so I understand how most schools etc run and the training teachers get and how a-typical children are not supported. If you would like a great resource on ADHD - Dr Russell Barkley is a great place to start (great lectures on KZfaq). I will also add that how classrooms and learning are run should change to accommodate learning in ways that would better support children with eg ADHD.

Why aren't there any consequences for the bad behavior?

Each of those children strike me as hurt , I can't help but wonder how much of there behaviour is learnt and seen

3 hours to try and get a kid in a class? blimey in my time that would have been dealt with in 10 minutes...I was a good kid, but my teachers weren't putting up with this..this kid is given too much power. I;m sure they have problems at home, so did we, not all kids act out

Wouldn't it be nice if every school had something like this in place? It could really make a difference in so many lives.

These are very good teachers. They help the children very much. The angry pupils are angry but the teachers help them.

It almost always starts at home.

MORE PAY BETTER CONDITIONS AND MORE MONEY AND BETTER RESOURCES INTO SCHOOLS THIS IS WHAT IS NEEDED URGENTLY

I was in a nurture group in infants school. One of many things I feel the juniors school could and should have done differently is to have a nurture group, too (along with many things I wish I'd done differently, as well). Something a nurture group can help with for kids with special needs at the transition from infants to juniors school is the shock of going from being one of the oldest in the school to one of the youngest, all over again.

When I was a primary kid and tried anything like this, I would be swiftly taken to the head teachers room, get a sizeable yelling, and have no break time for a week 😂 I tell you what, it'd be a long time before I'd try anything again. Class disruption used to get sorted real quick

This documentary is years old , the children featured are adults now . But I would have had Jason tested for FASD if I had been able to .

How come in other parts of world we dont see these bullying/tantrums and outburst) specially at this young age in schools??there has to be a reason why children are acting up here..i took my child abroad for 2 yrs and they were astonish to see how disciplined the children were in class.(yr 6,9 and 13 ).

Filipino mom: 🥿👟🧹 this would fix it

Our children are eating junk food ff's chicken nuggets, cheese burgers, pizza noodles, Coke Cola Mountain Dew potato chips, cookies, and candy. They stay on games 🎮 and tv for hours, lots of homes, no father. Poor parenting skills are a big part of behavior, not knowing how to deal with these behaviors. We are seeing this in America also.

I spent 3 yrs in London right after kindergarten. The schools were so pretty and grand compared to what I was used to back home, I couldn't imagine any kid wanting to cause trouble with so much activities and resources available to them. I recall getting some mild bullying from the kids, but it didn't register in my childish mind and I just brushed it off. Then I moved back to Asia and got the shock of my life; everything was stressful, I didn't understand the change in culture/environment, teachers were yelling, the kids just shunned me, got caned almost everyday, family problems, noone to talk to, not knowing what I should do or how long this madness would go on for and I distinctly remember wondering why people are so afraid of dying when life itself is just full of pain and it's all just going to end the same way either way; but I had no idea how one would go about bringing their own demise, or I likely wouldn't be here right now. Oh, and I would stress eat every night till I grew almost 3 times my usual size. I forgot where I was going with this, but I think it had something to do how a strong-handed approach is sometimes needed but how it needs to be tempered with a strong focus on the well-being, mentally and emotionally, of the child. That's the gist of it at least

There will be no teachers left soon and I don’t blame them. 🤦‍♀️

Learning disabilities are under funded and many children get missed and are just seen as naughty children. That's not the case, they just get misunderstood.

There is a lack of male teachers and male role models in schools. Both my husband and my dad work in schools and my mum works in eary help, it's so important for males to be present in schools. Especially if some of the kids have an absent father figure. Also state schools are pretty underfunded, especially with mental health issues.

I went to a village primary school with about 50 kids so we didn’t really have any bad behaviour or bullying.

it is not the school's fault it is the parents fault because they don't know how to discipline their kids

The issue is alot of adults are just broken kids in an adult body

Stop giving them choices, tell them what they have to do and whats expected of them. They are still children! I do not remember in my day that we had these rediculous outbursts.

If my kid acted like that.... I’d tell the school to call me and I’d go to class with him. I’d set him straight, because sending them home seems to not work. From what I see anyway. I mean if they don’t like doing school work and they know they will be sent home if they act up... they will act up.

It's not always about bad parenting. There are children born with subminimal brain damage where regular parenting won't work and things can go wrong easily. I don't wanna say that's the backgrond in all cases but it's not easy to judge it from the outside.

When I was in primary this boy in my class would come up to me an slap me on the face then we went to secondary he was only there for 3 days then expelled so now I’m safe 😀

When I was in secondary school In year 9 and 10 I had a period of really hating and being terrified of my food tech practical lessons so one day I got in the room then immediately walked out and hid in the bathroom for 2 hours and even though I went out eventually after that incident every food tech lesson I made a scene somewhere in the school like full on crying and having a meltdown (baring in mind I was model-ish student and would never be imagined to do this) and for a while I would not go at all and they gave me tons of opportunities to make the right decision and to go anyway but that was not the issue i was terrified of messing up in the actual lesson so it didn't make much difference but after I was threatened at parents evening to be taken off the course and a LSA helped me to get into the lesson and to get started and that no one was judging me I very slowly managed to go to every lesson even though I was terrified every time I still managed to do my practical exam and I ended up passing my subject and getting s GCSE out of it so moral of the story I don't really have one but just wanted to show that it's not always so easy to do the right thing there are often reasons why you don't.

If I would of behaved like that in school I would have been chilling with whitney and Michael Jackson by now

Kids like that are so annoying

Its the parent's responsibility to discipline their own children. Too many of them cant be bothered.

They need to be more strict

I love how most kids parents would say there kids are perfect.

FASD - Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

4:30 That dreaded moment at school when breaktime is over in the playground and you hear the whistle being blown and the teacher on duty shouting at everyone to stop.🤣🤣🤣

Anakin Skywalker knew how to fix those pesky kids

I am hoping the teachers contacted social services to check that these children were not being abused/neglected. I know so many children who have acted in similar ways and it was the abuse that they were going through at home, I too was abused at home and the teachers were useless.

Why are kids in school at age 3? I didn't start school until age 5 and I was barely ready. Also why so many toys for the older children. As of grade 1 at 6 years old there were no more toys in the classroom except for show and tell. That is probably a major distraction.

The problem starts with their grandparents failing to raise their parents abetted by Social Services . Seeing this behaviour makes me wonder at what things like at home or even if they have a home. Unfortunately these children will be passed from grade to grade without knowing anything.

Unbelievable; all these teachers trying to coax an obstinate kid to do what we all do throughout our lives. I was born in the time when we did as we were told without arguments. Many of us didn't like school but we knew we had to be there to learn. Far too much attention here.

These children often have parents that are dysfunctional. They learn how to treat others if they witness adults treating others badly . I doubt if dysfunctional parents deal with their children appropriately. I think parenting classes should be compulsory if a child clearly starts school without any self control management at all. School should teach and parents should be a nurturing example to their kids. It’s good there’s staff to help children that parents clearly can’t be bothered with . I feel for staff and children that want to learn . Of course some children change which is brilliant. Thanks to staff and their parents .

Its so so important to also work with the parentes. As they say poor parental behavior effects the children tremendesly.

I think it was lovely that the Mum was acknowledged for her contribution too, well done ❤

This program is absolutely fantastic. I wish they would do it in Canada.

My Mum:"Dont Worry, You Will Have A Great Day At School" My Day At School:

The kid @14:05 has either something neurological or some deep trauma of neglect and violence. It makes me so sad. I hope he got the right help and is doing fine.

I used to have this problem. I would act out and stuff. Turns out I have ADHD and maybe possible autism. I wasn’t acting out because how I was raised I was acting out because my brain was not functioning properly

I have family that works within the school system, and they are emotionally and physically exhausted and feel like they barely accomplished their teaching plans for the day, because they spend most of their hrs dealing with disruptive students. GOOD TEACHERS have either quit, transferred to another city/state or retired. And what we have left are teachers and staff that are worse than the students. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN: *government intervenes in ways they shouldn't within families and the way they raise their own children. (Yeah, yeah, there's lots of abusive parents, but for some reason, the government seems to almost always intervene in the wrong homes) 😮‍💨 * You take more and more rights away from parents. Thats is a 💯 fact! *when u tolerate and reward bad behavior in the hopes that it will somehow help them behave better. * when u DON'T HOLD THEM TRULY ACCOUNTABLE for their actions! * Schools continue to allow such behaviors, knowing is affecting teachers' and students' ability to learn what they should! Never in my 34yrs of age have I heard of teachers running out of classrooms, crying during class, complaining about how they have no control of the situation, etc. Talking about their personal issues. My daughter is 13yrs old and all I hear is "my teacher was crying today" "my teacher says she only there for the money" (which i know can't be true, cause teachers don't get paid enough) "there was a fight today, blood and students badly hurt" yet the school allows those kids to go back to school the next day!?!??!?!?! It's UNBELIEVABLE, really. This is what's happening in the US, I'm from Massachusetts, and this is what I've noticed, and it's extremely disappointing!

'A bare room with nothing to climb on' Little dude must be levitating then 😂

Without a huge turn around in the homes that are dysfunctional or these school interventions, imagine what these disruptive, angry children will be as adults. Crime would go up exponentially, many of those would be violent crimes. Plus if they cannot function in a learning environment, they surely will be unable to function in jobs, most will be uneducated. Yes parents need to be aware of the home environment and seek help for themselves or their children but what other programs are out there if not for those in the schools. I would think funding would come from local governments and schools both.

Fantastic video. Even if it goes beyond teachers work, it really helps a lot to understand how to deal with some of these situations. Cheers.

Awesome Levi!!!

That would definitely make me choose a different career path.😬😬😬

All I have to say is the kids are lucky they are not in the Carrabbian or Africa.

Teachers deserve better.

I was very much like these children and I feel for them. It's usually either a case of they don't get enough attention at home, they aren't having enough discipline at home, they're seeing that aggression at home or that they may be something like being autistic. I experienced alot of that as a kid and I wish my school would've looked into it. Referred me for some kind of assessment because. Kids aren't violent for no reason

Imagine if Levi was a student in a Victorian school 🤣

A good old fashioned parenting is needed. Discipline, obedience, rules.

The fact that the nurture groups eventually outperform the regular class proves ALL children need more one-on-one, smaller classes, and more active learning. Just proves that the school setup is trash and the reset button needs to be hit

Seems like they have no control at all. The kids know they can do whatever they like.

Oh godddd I used to treat my teachers like this oh shiiii I didnt realise how much the teachers controlled themselves

I would like to see this nurture group imported to the United States. It looks really good. I think my son, Thomas, would benefit from it.

Why are they disruptive? Maybe normal school is too much for them. Maybe they have too high of expectations and they are acting out because they aren’t able to cope with the demands we now place on children.

I personally had such strict parents I enjoyed school I knew they couldn't hit me. But then feared letters home. Also parents evening so I had no choice but to behave. The colours and other students I honestly enjoyed my time there, I didn't want to go home. I enjoyed the uniform the lessons the school trips. But I think for some kids they just born with behavioural problems epically if parents smoke or used drugs or over abused alcohol during pregnancy. It's so unfair. I guess the kids wonder why they can not control themselves or their rage or emotions. Also poor or no discipline at home could lead to bad behaviour in school.

All behaviour is communication. This behavior may be mental health, learning disabilities, giftedness and or promlems at home. I am happy these children are gating help in nurture groups i hope that they get any support they need.

You cannot see they have emotions that steam from home

That look that Casey had on his face at 23:37...I dealt with 2 twin boys before that looked at me with that exact same look on their faces....a lot of this starts at home. There must be good parenting and nurturing there.... And even with that in place, child rearing is still a huge challenge.

I was like this in school when teachers don’t help me I mess around to get there attention

Fun fact: 12 years ago Royston primary school was destroyed
