5 Live Breakfast

Available for over a year

Ofsted said in 2013 that 700,000 children are suffering because teachers do not crack down on bad behaviour. Education Secretary Michael Gove wants more lines and community punishments to be given out - powers teachers already have. In this 90 second summary Schools Minister Elizabeth Truss outlines current acceptable punishments, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers Mary Bousted calls for proportionate sanctions, callers Andy and Jason have different views on the correct approach to discipline badly behaved pupils.
