I suspect it is more likely to be the societal impact of children being out of school for an extended amount of time. Teachers are reporting that there is a multiplier effect where children are 3-4 years behind where they ought to be despite only missing 14-18 months of school.
Long covid might be having an effect but it’s a bit of a deus ex machina in terms of explaining why kids are misbehaving. Young people were resistent to the worst effects from covid and we already have an explanation with the pure disruption of missing a lot of school/routine.
