Host Tony Harwood is joined by Scott Lyons, union officer and former teacher, for a no-holds-barred conversation about violence in schools and its impact on teachers. Drawing on data from recent surveys and first-hand experiences, they explore the growing concerns around pupil-on-teacher aggression, the challenges of restorative practice, and the blurred lines between school and parental responsibility. The discussion also touches on the rise in misogynistic behaviour, the effects of the pandemic on pupil development, and the future of education in a world shaped by AI and shifting demographics.
