There is no doubt that the world of education is taking a beating these days. […]
We learn that, according to data from the CNESST, a tendency towards acts of violence against teachers from elementary school tends to increase more and more. This is the case of Nathalie (fictitious name), who was bitten and hit in the face by a child in her class who had thrown chairs twice, including once towards a special education technician.
In this vein, physical attacks against staff in schools have been steadily increasing for the past ten years. However, the situation has deteriorated since the pandemic. While the CNESST identified 357 occupational injuries for physical violence in 2019, this number rose to 507 in 2021 and 564 in 2022.
But what are the causes of these violent behaviors? Far be it from me to
blame it on the middle
family as a whole. However, it seems to me possible that the young person is exposed to scenes of violence in the family environment, and that he reproduces them in the school environment. In addition, video games are full of scenes of violence.
Nathalie is in her first year of experience as a teacher and she is seriously considering leaving the profession, alleging that she “would have liked to continue, but she is not able to do what she loves, or to teach”.
