A recent survey by the NASUWT teaching union found that four in ten teachers had encountered violence or physical abuse from pupils over the past 12 months and almost all of them said the problem was getting worse.
Teachers in Aberdeen also recently urged the local council to intervene over claims that some schools had become “completely lawless”, with half saying violent pupil behaviour had become a daily occurrence.
