Why poor behaviour in schools is not all down to gentle parenting. nickmorr.substack.com/p/why-behaviou…

nickmorr.substack.com Why Behaviour Is Getting Worse in Schools: The Sequel Gentle parenting is one of a number of candidates for worsening classroom behaviour, but while many may be outside a school’s control, there are things schools can do that can make a difference.

Interesting article on what lies behind 'behaviour crisis' in schools, but one thing it doesn't address is how schools have changed. If schools are less tolerant places, then may help explain why more children are getting into trouble.

“I’ve been teaching 25 years and low-level behaviour is so much worse than before - part of the problem is, if you address that behaviour, you get a reaction from the parent we never used to get”

Is gentle parenting to blame? @jasminenorden finds out.

This, in the File on 4 story on children being put into care, seems to underestimate the impact on children of neglect. It can be just as harmful, if not more so, than abuse.
