Teachers, members of the NASUWT teacher’s union, think that parents are responsible for the behaviour of their children at school. In these modern times pupils arrive at their schools with mobile phones, Ipods and MP3 players, but do not bring a very useful and important utensil such as a pen.
These teachers also feel that that the parents should put more effort in teaching their children to behave well at school. Parents, as well as head teachers, should also back the teachers when they have to take action when their children do not behave well. It is important for the kids to be in a safe school where they can learn in an ordered environment.
Parents ‘responsible for children’s bad behaviour’.
In my opinion it is absurd that a child, when going to school, does not carry a pen with him. It is like sending a carpenter for a job, without his hammer. This is a modern society, but we still use things like pens to register the words we should remember. Perhaps parents have sent their kids to schools with an Ipad to put their notes in, which is mistaken for an Ipod? Probably not. It almost seems as if the parents need some education first, to make them able to send their children to school. I think it all starts at home and that the parents should be aware of their important role in showing their kids how to respect others.

I think that the important issue here is that most children do not choose to go to school in the first place. For them most important things are to keep in touch with the media, their friends, and to stay informed on the subjects of their interest. Instead of putting blame on sides, which in most cases want to help a child to receive better education, it might be better to make the education subjects more interesting for the pupils. Perhaps then they would not only take their pencils with them, but their erasers, sets of squares etc. As well.
