'Head from hell' says young people need boundaries
A head teacher once dubbed the "head from hell" by a newspaper says schools need to focus on "strict discipline and firm boundaries".
Alun Ebenezer, head of 1,300-pupil Caldicot School in Monmouthshire, was asked to take over at the school after a period that saw teachers striking over "violent and abusive behaviour" by pupils.
The school asks parents to come into lessons and sit next to their child if they misbehave in class, and carries out detentions on either the same day or on a Saturday.
"I think at the moment we are indulging and we are hiding behind words like wellbeing and safe spaces and it's making things unsafe and is damaging people's wellbeing," he said.
