2) Why has there been a decline in student behaviour in schools? The Late Show with Tom Rogers
Tom Rogers is joined by a range of guests to discuss the key reasons for the decline in behaviour in schools. This show was driven by the evidence base around this - including surveys by the DfE, NASUWT, Teacher Tapp and more that cite increased levels of poor behaviour in schools.
Amongst the reasons discussed are: social media, mobile phones, parenting, a lack of support from parents, increased entitlement, lack of SEND support, curriculum, the mental health crisis, an increase in trauma, super strict schools, Covid-19, a lack of special schools and lower societal expectations.
