According to a recent EdWeek Research Center survey, 70 percent of educators said there is more student misbehavior in their classes, schools and districts now than there was in fall 2019.
In December 2021, when the research center previously asked educators about it, “66 percent of them said their students were misbehaving a little more or a lot more compared with fall of 2019,” writes Education Week’s Arianna Prothero.
Student morale is lower today than it was prior to the pandemic, said 68 percent of educators surveyed. “A third of educators described the students in their classes, schools, and districts as unmotivated,” Prothero writes.
