A Department for Education adviser on behaviour policy says that the pandemic era lockdowns broke the spell of children and parents building their lives and habits around going to school.
Lockdown was notoriously unequal in its effects. Some vulnerable children were more exposed to harm in the home, and for others, removing the school routine opened a window on a different kind of learning, driven by curiosity and self-direction.
While Ofsted and teachers are quick to blame parents, we mustn't forget the changed relationship follows a time when many pupils and parents were badly let down by schools and the government.
