The #schoolscrisis has many dimensions: two intersect in the problem of pupil suspensions & exclusions. 

There seems to be a #class & #racial element in the data on suspensions, but there is also an upswing of violence behaviour from pupils towards #teachers (which has risen after the return from lockdown). 

For the pupils it effects this will have a terrible impact on their future, but Teachers must also have a safe working environment. 

The Q. is what can be done?

 @43d7c4ea long term senior management in schools has not supported teachers. The small number of disruptive pupils have created terrible working conditions for all. The focus has been on short term action rather than investing in finding out what is causing the problems.
