A head teacher says she would normally expect 16-year-olds to act as role models.
A head teacher said a number of her Year 11 students were "still behaving in lots of ways like Year 9 students" due to the disruption caused by Covid.
Suffolk County Council's education scrutiny committee heard of a number of behavioural issues that had come to light as a result of the two lockdowns.Council education officers said they recognised the pressures schools and school staff were under.said a report to the committee highlighted "increased numbers of children with eating disorders and anxiety, with little resilience and interest in school".
"Their level of maturity has been stunted to a certain degree, so for example I will look at some students in Year 11, who we would expect to be role models in our school with really positive behaviours, and they are still behaving in lots of ways like Year 9 students. "That is not to blame the child, it is just to say that period of social isolation and being in those good routines, learning how to behave with each other as they grow and mature, they have lost that."
