Grief still permeates many students’ lives, too: An estimated 200,000 children and teens in the U.S. About 4 in 10 school leaders said the number of student fights remained about the same as in a typical year prior to the pandemic, while just under a third of school leaders saw about the same levels of classroom disruptions.Įducators say that some upticks were to be expected, as many students were dealing with heightened stress, isolation, and mental health needs this past year. A sizable share of principals reported no change in these types of behavior. Still, the responses were decidedly mixed.
For many educators, the behavior challenges were a defining feature of the school year - and complicated efforts to rebuild school communities and get students back on track academically. The data, gathered in May from surveys of nearly 850 public school leaders, mostly principals, is evidence that many schools did see tensions rise this past year as students nationwide returned to fully in-person learning. In addition, more than half of school leaders reported an increase in classroom disruptions from student misconduct for the same reason.
About 1 in 3 school leaders noticed an uptick in student fights or physical attacks this past school year that they believed were brought on by the pandemic and its lingering effects, new federal data show.
