MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Only two in five children in England say they always feel safe at school, according to a government survey, and teachers from across Britain have told the Guardian they have seen pupils’ behaviour deteriorate over the last two years.
Teachers said violence and abuse aimed at school staff and other students had increased alongside displays of homophobia, racism and sexism, with women in particular bearing the brunt of aggressive sexual remarks.
“We would like to see the DfE carry out work to establish the reasons for this increase in poor behaviour, but the disruption caused by the pandemic and the ongoing difficulties in supporting pupils with mental health and special educational needs are likely playing a part.”
A reception class teacher from east London said: “Last year I was physically attacked by a child every single day.
They are starting school with very low levels of emotional regulation, not able to express their feelings appropriately, so they have constant meltdowns.
While many teachers said there had been a noticeable change in behaviour and attitudes since Covid, some were concerned that it had grown worse in the current school year.
