General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

think there was a drop post covid

A drop in behaviour you mean?

I heard a number of teachers say that children who went through lockdown, especially the youngest, appear to have social / behavioural issues. They haven't learnt what acceptable social behaviour is.

Yes, a drop in behaviour. I did originally think that they hadn't learned acceptable behaviour or had forgotten, but it hasn't got better, and I do feel like it's coming from anxiety and stress a lot rather than hijinks like it used to be.

I teach older kids (16-19), so I can't speak for the really little ones, but I do have prior experience of taking homeschool kids (a lot of homeschool kids do college to prepare for university) and they never had this issue that I've seen recently.

They haven’t learnt what acceptable social behaviour is.
