Figures show the rate of stand-downs for assaults on students by five to ten-year-olds has jumped 77% since the year 2000 .
The Ministry of Education numbers reveal assaults on teachers are up by two-thirds.
NZEI president Frances Nelson says the expectations set for behaviour levels in schools need to be supported by parents.
