Interesting.
I’d like to see this extended to a National review. Some schools are fantastic, some are not. It shouldn’t be a lottery.
I believe the National Curriculum and the ethos of modern schooling need overhauling. They seem to be industrialised institutions more akin to the 1970’s adult workforce. But now days they are only representative of white collar work.
At least in the 70s and 80’s schools also catered for practical and creative industries too.

Our post industrial world allows for choice, individualism, creativity, person expression, flexibility, I could go on. Our school system is still rigid, generalised and grey. No wonder we can’t recruit and keep teachers.

Having said all of the above, I know many amazing teachers who have put their whole lives into their jobs who have an up hill battle everyday just to keep on top of their work load and they do care. They give more of themselves than perhaps they can afford, in order to add colour in the grey and know their students individually. They truly are hero’s.

As claims about practices in two flagship London academies are investigated, it’s time to stop and think about what schools are really for, says Guardian columnist Joh...

I’ve been reading a lot about Gas Lighting recently and the impact it can have on children in a family. I think there is also an argument for suggesting that victims of trauma are likely to be more vulnerable to it. This article explain Gaslighting really well.

Gaslighting, explained.

The best Infograph I have seen in a long while!!

We all know the importance of physical safety, but what about feeling safe on an emotional level? This concept, called felt safety, is crucial for our psychological wellbeing.

Imagine a child who feels constantly judged or criticized. Their nervous system is likely on high alert, making it difficult to relax, learn, or connect with others. Now, consider a child who feels loved, supported, and understood. They're free to explore, take risks, and bounce back from setbacks.

Felt safety isn't just about children. It's a fundamental human need for adults as well. When we feel safe, we can:

* Relax and de-stress
* Build healthy relationships
* Take on challenges
* Learn and grow
