Surveys tell us about teachers’ daily experiences in the classroom. Members of the NASUWT teaching union have identified social media specifically as the primary factor in the deterioration of behaviour in our schools, including primary schools, as well as the primary factor in the decline in empathy and respect, and the normalisation of abusive conduct, along with the reduction in attention span. Similarly, the National Education Union also tells us that this is having a damaging impact on schools and adding to the workloads and stress of our teachers, diverting time away from teaching and learning.
