Since 1967, teachers could only physically intervene with students if their safety or that of others was at risk. Starting in August 2027, they will be allowed to 'hold a student, keep them in place, or take them to another room' if the student disrupts the class.

    Thought I moved from R*ddit to see more constructive comments (among many other things), turns out nobody reads past the headline here either.

    Read the fucking article fa chrise sakes. Only thing it’s allowing teachers to do is to restrain a kid if the kid is harming others

    For some definition of harming others.

    The subtitle says:

    if the student disrupts the class

    And, in the body of the article:

    The proposed law would allow teachers to physically intervene if a student harasses or insults others, or "significantly" disrupts lessons.

    Did you?

    The current legislation only allows teachers to use force if a student poses a danger to themselves, others, or school property. The teachers' union (Danmarks Lærerforening) has long called for greater flexibility, arguing that it is increasingly difficult to manage students who disturb class and refuse to keep quiet or leave when asked.

    They already have the ability to restrain a child who is a danger to others, this is for children who are simply disrupting a class.

    You need to use physical force on kids to get them to comply?

    If they refuse to comply otherwise, yes.

    You'll let one kid ruin class for everyone else? They deserve their education.
