Wasn't sure where to post this....maybe more of a Boo Hoo (mods feel free to move it)

I'm a youth worker and have been working at a few schools in my area with kids with behaviour problems.
I was at a school this morning and there were a couple of kids that turned up late. The teacher was HORRIBLE to them. He was yelling at them calling them little S**Ts and telling them they didn't deserve to be there, to get off the school grounds and that they aren't welcome at the school! These kids were yelling abuse back at the teacher (which I would have done as well....) so this particular teacher just kept screaming at them telling them he was the boss and if they didn't like things tough luck. They can get out and not come back!!! These kids are only 14!!!!!! They HAVE to be engaged in education.

This school also has a breakfast/lunch program running because these kids come from homes where chances are they don't get fed. This particular teacher was like "well..sorry you weren't here so tough luck, you don't get anything". HELLO... there is obviously a reason these kids are late to school..you know the background of these kids!

Now....while i know teenage kids can be difficult to work with and have a habit to backchat etc...is there any reason to be like this?!?! It is no wonder these kids don't want to be at school. And now the gov. is making it harder for them to leave, there is going to be so many more issues like this occuring, where kids are disengaing from school.

How did our education department get to this point1!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
