“The proportion of teachers reporting difficulty in managing pupil behaviour has increased “significantly” since last year, according to new research.
More than four in 10 teachers now say they are struggling to cope with poor behaviour.
Many teachers say they are not being adequately supported by their senior leadership teams with behaviour management, according to the research by the Education Support Partnership – a charity that supports teachers with poor mental health.”

I would call this the ‘Paul Dix effect’.
The backlash in the press and from parents about exclusions, isolation and any attempts to discipline that are more than a ‘restorative conversation’ is damaging.
But Dix’s assertion that asking for support with behaviour management diminishes your authority in the classroom has enabled swathes of lazy-arsed SLT to simply throw back any complaints about poor behaviour to the teacher, without any effective tools to deal with it.
