How have you noticed student behavior and performance change since 2020 and the onset of COVID?
In Singapore, we actually have a subject called Social Skills that is inputted into the timetable. We have noticed that today’s children n teens lack social skills because they are perpetually glued to their phones n mobile gaming. We even have posters that list down the steps to be organised or say sorry or listen with empathy, I kid you not. I would say COVID exacerbated the lack of effective in-person communication skills among the young.

In my country we don't have that in schools, we don't have problems with social skills, but most children reflect their personality through some influencer.

I hope these influencers are good human beings!
