One of the major news issues today is based on the
decline in student behaviour over the recent years. Is
this really the case?

Interview 1 – Mr Mishkin

decline? Please explain

Voice over
Education is the most powerful key to ones success in
life as it determines the quality of life you’ll have in
the future. With students’ behaviour reportedly on a
decline, what kind of future would they have with today’s
current government delusion about claiming school
behaviour is improving while teachers, on the other hand
dismissing the governments claims and labelling “student
behaviour as deplorable” and stating that “television is
to blame for decline in pupil behaviour”
