We surveyed 1,002 students in grades 7-10 from three complex secondary schools. These are the grades and types of schools with the highest suspension and lowest retention rates.<\/p>\n<p>We wanted to find out how these students feel about school and teachers, as well as their experiences of exclusionary discipline, and whether there were important differences between those who said they did and did not like school.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What did we find?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The good news is that two-thirds of our study sample said they like school. Almost half of these students said they had always liked it. One of them said:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cLove it. I\u2019d prefer to live at school. Like, if Hogwarts was an actual place, I\u2019d go there.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nWorryingly, one-third of students said they do not like school. Although school liking was highest in grade 7, most students indicated their dislike began in the transition to high school.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cYeah, it was probably as soon as I hit high school. Year 7 things got a lot harder.\u201d<br \/>\nThis dislike appears to increase over time, with grade 9 having the highest proportion of dislikers. These patterns correspond with suspension rates,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eprints.qut.edu.au\/125844\/1\/IJIE_Suspension%20in%20QLD%202006-2017_FINAL.pdf\">which double in grade 7 and peak in grade 9<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_63153\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63153\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63153\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GradeLevel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GradeLevel.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GradeLevel-250x96.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-63153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: L.

While \u201cfriends\u201d was the most-liked aspect of school for both groups, a much higher proportion of school likers than dislikers chose \u201clearning\u201d.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cI feel like every day I go to school, I just flex my knowledge. I like to learn. Learning\u2019s alright.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nBy contrast, a much higher proportion of dislikers chose \u201cbreaktime\u201d as their most-liked aspect. The attraction became clearer through interviews:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cWhat do you like most about school?\u201d [\u2026] \u201cBreak.

A much higher proportion of dislikers than likers selected schoolwork, teachers and discipline policy as the aspects they disliked most.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cPretty much work, because they give you all the assessments and expect it to be done so quick [\u2026]\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nThese findings are fairly intuitive and resonate with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eprints.qut.edu.au\/125846\/14\/GrahamVanBergen_Sweller_Caught_between_a_rock_a_hard_place_FINAL_pdf.pdf\">previous research<\/a>\u00a0with students with a history of disruptive behaviour who also nominated schoolwork and teachers.<\/p>\n<p>The previous study found an interesting connection between the two. Students who find learning difficult will often clash with teachers whose job it is to make them do their work. Some teachers are kinder and more supportive in how they do that than others.<\/p>\n<p>High school is especially difficult for these students because they have to navigate more teachers and are not good at \u201ccode-switching\u201d to meet diverse rules and expectations.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cIt was hard because you go from having a teacher the whole term who would let you do stuff and then if you tried to do that in another class, it would just be like no, you can\u2019t do that. Yeah, and they just yell at you.\u201d<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63155\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/leastlikedaspect.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/leastlikedaspect.png 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/leastlikedaspect-250x165.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Students who clash with teachers also tend also to experience exclusionary discipline. In our sample, not liking school was significantly associated with having received a detention, suspension or expulsion in the past 12 months. Forty-one percent of dislikers reported having been suspended (versus 14% of likers).<\/p>\n<p>Our analyses also found large differences in students\u2019 ratings of teacher support. Dislikers provided lower ratings on every item.<\/p>\n<p>The highest-rated item for both groups was: \u201cMy teacher always wants me to do my best.\u201d The lowest was: \u201cMy teacher has time for me.\u201d The largest difference between groups was for \u201cMy teacher listens to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What can schools do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Relationships between teachers and students\u00a0<em>can<\/em>\u00a0be improved and educators do not have to wait for governments to act. A simple start would be for school leaders to implement\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/research.qut.edu.au\/c4ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/281\/2022\/02\/Practice-Guide-Student-Driven-School-Change.pdf\">student-driven school change<\/a>\u00a0to address issues from the perspective of\u00a0<em>all<\/em>\u00a0students, but especially those who say they least want to be there.<\/p>\n<p>As for government policy, the findings from our study highlight one possibility for consideration. When Queensland\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/search.informit.org\/doi\/epdf\/10.3316\/informit.360099246761570\">shifted<\/a>\u00a0grade 7 from the primary phase to the secondary phase in 2015, steps were takens to better support children in their first year of high school. Support included a core teacher model, when one teacher takes the same students for English and humanities or maths and science, reducing the number of teachers that students have to navigate, and dedicated play areas for grade 7 students to help reduce anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>The findings from our study of three Queensland secondary schools suggest that initiative may have had some success for up two-thirds of grade 7 students at least. Yet, if school liking declines in grades 8 and beyond, mirroring the rise in suspensions, is it not time to consider whether grade 8s and 9s may benefit from more intensive pastoral care?<\/p>\n<p>We could always ask them!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Linda J.
