Should disruptive pupils be excluded?
A pupil disrupts the class all year long.
- Exclusion: the others have a right to learn
- Specialised classes and support
- Understand their difficulties, exclusion makes everything worse
What's at stake: The debate pits the class's right to learn in peace against the struggling pupil's right to support.
The left's argument
Exclusion just moves the problem. Understand the pupil's difficulties and help them.
The centre's argument
Specialised arrangements protect the class without abandoning the struggling pupil.
The right's argument
A disruptive pupil penalises the whole class. The teacher's authority must come first.
