Nearly one in five teachers in England says they have been hit by a pupil in the past year, a poll revealed Thursday, as schools grapple with a post-pandemic slide in behaviour. The findings come after education chief Amanda Spielman last year blamed a national increase in disruptive classroom behaviour on the loss of “socialisation” caused by Covid lockdowns.
