Much like starting a job and staying with the company until retirement age is a thing of the past, so is the idea that one must attend only one primary school and one high school during the entirety of one’s schooling journey, no matter what.

Yes, it is the ideal and stability, and the ability to form and build lasting friendships during one’s schooling journey is essential. However, the reality is that the need for some children to change schools during their primary and high school years is becoming more and more commonplace.

"Third Term Turmoil."

This phenomenon typically occurs in the August/September period, when teenage disciplinary issues tend to peak. We have developed a theory to explain this pattern, which centers around seasonal changes and academic pressures. As spring arrives and summer break approaches, students become restless and eager for leisure, leading to decreased motivation for academic work and a surge in the desire for recreational activities.

How can teachers and parents navigate this time of the year? We provide some tips and advice.
