Schools in England are suffering from a culture of "casual acceptance" of classroom misbehaviour, the Ofsted chief inspector has warned.
In his second annual Ofsted report, chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw admitted that the culture in classrooms had to change, as well as the expectations placed on children.
We need to talk a lot more about the culture in our schools and the expectations we should have of our children.
Too many of our schools suffer from poor behaviour and high levels of disruptive behaviour.
The chief inspector today said that classrooms need to be orderly places.
Around 700,000 pupils attend schools where behaviour needs to improve. Unless this changes, teachers will struggle to create an environment in which all children learn well.
Deborah Lawson, the General Secretary of Voice: the union for education professionals, reacts to Sir Michael Wilshaw's Ofsted report.
The percentage of pupils at good or outstanding secondary schools is highest in Bath and North East Somerset.
