FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Teachers at a secondary school, Castle Vale Performing Arts College in Birmingham, walked out on Wednesday, believing the headmaster and board of governors have failed to back them in dealing with the pupil’s poor behavior and attainment.
The pupils have reportedly shown dangerous behavior at school, including bringing knife to the class and letting off fireworks. Teachers also said the students usually fight during the lessons and verbally abuse the staff.
Headmaster Clive Owen said he was “disappointed and disturbed” by the teachers’ strike plan. However, the NASUWT teaching union believed that its members had no other choice but to protest and asked the authorities to investigate into the school’s management.
Union representative Ben Ball, who has been teaching at the school for over 30 years, declared that the pupils’ behavior was so bad that the school turned into a “battlefield.”
“The behaviour of the pupils has got to a stage where action must be taken. There is a core group whose behaviour is completely unacceptable, and downright dangerous, who prevent us from teaching the rest of the children,” he said.
Ball added that school’s board of governors also failed to handle the issue, and that the children knew that they will not be punished if they continue doing their rude and dangerous acts.
Union’s general secretary Chris Keates said that when the problems first emerged in 2009, the union has tried to engage constructively to solve the dispute but the school management and governors have not responded positively.
Announcing further strike actions by the teachers on March 20 and 21, Keates added, “We are now calling for the local authority to launch a formal investigation into the school and to use its statutory power to issue a warning notice of improvement to the school governing body.”
