TToB: To reduce violence against teachers, US teachers say that using physical restraints is more effective than student suspension or expulsion. Tough or Bluff???

the options are strange because some are in the moment that a violent episode is happening (physical restraint) and yeah that makes sense. the other options are prior to violence or punishment for violence. its just weird to rank those options because they are different circumstances.

2024-06-19 05:28:05 +0000 UTCGrew up in Denmark, my school never practiced any of these (restraint, school hardening or exclusionary discipline) and neither does the school of my children. I can’t imagine the uproar there would be from parents if this was the case. It is sad that it has come so far that many teachers believe this is the most efficient way.

2024-06-19 05:26:38 +0000 UTCIt’s TOUGH! Teachers said that the most effective way to reduce violence against teachers was prevention (e.g., engaging students), followed by crisis intervention (e.g., using physical restraint during violent episodes), school hardening (e.g., use of metal detectors), and lastly, exclusionary discipline (e.g., student suspension and expulsion).

2024-06-18 20:55:23 +0000 UTCaggression doesn't help against aggression and this is certainly far from good. It shows a model to learn from, using means like that and not being discouraged. it shows that behaviour like that is even an option and it makes the thoughts more available to act upon. it also dumbs someone down to behaviour like that and makes it seem like things like that are normal. so bluff, it might help short term but it doesn't actually help. it also sets a punishment to avoid, an outside attribution to why you don't want to do somehting, not to get caught. you want something more appropriate to have an inside attribuition to make someone think, I actually want to behave differently. Set a proper norm and environment

2024-06-18 16:30:17 +0000 UTCThese options are awful but I think keeping someone in structure and school can be beneficial. Just not stoked about physical restraints. I always thought in school detention and keeping them in the school like after hours or on a Saturday is more effective but this is nothing other than anecdotal experience
