Missing link in school system discovered

THE interim report of the taskforce on student behaviour in second-level schools found that 5%-10% of students are engaged in various forms of low-level disruption, while those engaged in extreme behaviour represented a very small proportion.

Any level of such negativity increases stress levels for teachers and most compliant students and, as such, must be lessened.

I take great heart from the report’s findings on the various levels of involvement by parents in the education system.
