Summary

Research reveals almost one third of lesson time in Australian classrooms is being lost to student misbehaviour. A survey conducted by the Centre for Independent Studies asked nearly 400 primary and secondary teachers about how these disruptions are affecting learning. It also found this was having a significant impact on teacher health.
