What do you think should be done about disruptive students in lessons?

Education is a privilege, not a right. If you can't behave yourself like a civilised human being then why should you gain the privilege of education?

Don't play the "family background/home environment" card with me.

Students at secondary school ARE told of the consequences so there is no hiding from them. The information is there for them.

Why do you think kids in the UK don't see education as a way out of their sh***y home lives?

Devils Advocate. Education is in the UDHR. So it is a right, not a privilege.

Because your parents don't care about education.

This old chestnut again. I don't believe you can have a right based on the abuse of another's rights. A right to free education abuses the property rights of other people through forced taxation under the threat of force.

So to me it is not a right, neither is free healthcare or free welfare etc.

Also to make state education compulsory surely is a way of the state indoctrinating it's youth.

Can't really argue with that. Although I do see free healthcare as a right, yet I would exclude people who have abused substances e.g. alcohol, drugs, food

From the age of about 5 you spend more time at school and with your peers than you do with your parents, so are they really the people to blame here? How old do you think you should be to start taking responsibility for your own actions?

Because your parents don't care about education.

Why should I have to pay for your healthcare?

I thought food, drug and alcohol addictions counted as illnesses these days. Why do these people not deserve medical attention?

Having studied psychology for 2 years, its abundantly clear that telling people something doesn't work. It's like telling someone climate change is very probably real or that god very probably isn't real.

and when your on self destruct, and dont care about yourself and what your doing, then quite frankly your not gonna care about a few consequences.

but these are the people that need help, and need to be kept in education so they can turn their lives around, and dont commit suicide...

If you don't want to pay for my healthcare, then do you even want to pay taxes?
Healthcare is right in my eyes because no matter where you come from, how much money you have, you should be able to get treatment for an illness.

Defining an illness is where my problem comes from. I appreciate that people have a extremely different background to me and may force them into drugs etc. so they should be given their first treatment for drugs for free. However if they are a repeat offender and refuse to leave drugs then they aren't entitled to more healthcare.

Same applies to those that want a gastric band to lose weight. Exercise and eat healthily, don't use surgery as a short cut. Also with alcohol, first time is free but if you want an organ transplant then you need to prove you are dedicated. You need to stop drinking and stay clean.

But their behaviour should in no way be tolerated and if they are not willing to comply then yes, they should be thrown out. It's just a waste of taxpayer's money tbh. Sure they may have problems at home but why harm other people's learning? All you have to do is listen and shut up; I see it for myself, it's sad most people are incapable of doing so.
