Summary In order to clarify teachers' attitudes toward classroom disruption, we conducted a teacher survey (see this monograph (vol. 63) entitled "Considering 'classroom disruption.'" In the survey, class disruption was divided into three stages, namely class breakdown, where the class does not go well for some reason, class disruption, where the students disregard the teacher, and class disorder, where the students rebel. Junior high school teachers were surveyed to clarify the actual situation.

 How do students perceive class disruption? To answer this question, we conducted a student survey and then compared the results with those of the teacher survey regarding deviant classroom behavior. Additionally, we explored students' sense of normality, their health status, stress levels, etc., and identified the mechanism of "roughness," which is a phenomenon where students who are dissatisfied with their school life and are under a lot of stress behave in a problematic manner, and those around them sympathize with them, causing roughness in the classroom.
