"As a guest on DR's radio programme Ring til regeringen (Ring the Government') last week, Tesfaye used the abbreviation PDO or pisse darligt opdragede loosely given a shitty upbringing to describe disruptive children in classrooms. So it's important that schools can also give them an upbringing, he followed up. The minister wants to give teachers more power to manage students who disrupt lessons because they are poorly raised, to use the former immigration minister's terms."
"Tesfaye's presentation of the proposal has been criticised on several fronts. The national trade union for teachers, Danmarks Lrerforening, called his choice of words regrettable while the children's charity Brns Vilkar and an expert both told DR they directly oppose the idea. Independent researcher and expert on schools and children Louise Klinge told DR the term PDO is shameful and populist and reflected very poorly on Tesfaye's attitude."
Education Minister Mattias Tesfaye proposes giving teachers increased authority to manage disruptive pupils, including allowing physical force in certain situations. The proposal acknowledges it stops short of reinstating draconian punishments such as the slipper. The proposal provoked criticism for both its substance and its public framing, including the minister's use of the term PDO (pisse darligt opdragede) to describe poorly raised children. The national teachers' union and children's charity oppose the idea, and independent researcher Louise Klinge called the PDO term shameful and populist, saying it reflected poorly on the minister's attitude.
