If What’s Happening on Airplanes is Any Indication, Schools Have a Lot More Work to Do with Social-Emotional Learning.
If you have seen the news lately, you are likely aware of what’s happening on commercial flights. The number of incidents involving unruly passengers is threw the roof, a rate higher than any other time since airlines have been recording this data.
Flight attendants are getting attacked and may be required to take self-defense classes. Passengers fighting each other over COVID-19 masks. Airlines, like Southwest, have curbed back serving alcohol.
To put it in perspective, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported last month reported that it was investigating more than 581 incidents of unruly passengers, up from 183 in 2020 and 143 the year before. The levels of aggression and misbehavior on planes are unprecedented.
