School behaviour chief endorses detention system that punishes pupils for rolling their
eyes
The government school behaviour chief has supported a detention system that punishes pupils
for rolling their eyes and questioning decisions made by teachers. Tom Bennett, who has been
appointed to head up a taskforce into bad behaviour, has given his support to the Royal Docks
Academy strict discipline guide.
Detentions can be given to students who: have missing equipment, do not have their student
planner signed (two hour detention), roll their eyes (one hour detention) or kiss their teeth to
show expression of annoyance (two hour detention).
When the schoolâs discipline policy received a lot of criticism online Mr Bennett tweeted: âThis
is pretty standard for many schools. And itâs fine, as part of a range of strategies, that includes
encouraging social norms, routines, targeted support etc.â
However, the National Education Union (NEU) described âzero-toleranceâ behaviour policies in
schools as âinhumaneâ and âdamaging to pupil mental healthâ at their conference in April.
