This is great research. Schools and parents are frequently at loggerheads over EHCP implementation so it’s unsurprising that teachers support limitation of them. It will be a different story with parents.

My folks (retired, in their 70s) were talking about this last night. They were horrified by the sums involved. It has cut through.

My folks were talking about how horrified they are about the amount graduates are paying back in student loans. It has cut through!

I have been shouting this all
day, why are you the only one setting out this context! @lewisgoodall.com even let me down on his pod last night!!

What about the app based homework products schools tend to use. They had to have their phones with them to set it all up. I agree that they should bring in the ban but many schools can’t adhere to their gate to gate policy they have.

Interesting but absolutely zero scrutiny of the academic model which underpins universities. Solutions limited to an appeal for tax payer funding and SNCs to stop students choosing where they go and allow more institutions to become selectors again…

Absolutely this, the answer isn’t take kids’ phones away but not let them head out and about. And many parents only let their kids go out because of surveillance levels available. Groups of parents establishing norms together has been helpful for us

Absolutely this. My dad (in Wales) has multiple conditions and is a frequent attendee. He has spent days and days on a chair in the medical assessment unit. The staff are run ragged. Always looks to
us that social care is root cause given numbers of patients with dementia.

I took my eldest to W and then the Baden Meinhoff complex when he was a week old. He is now doing history and politics at a level!

I always find your pieces thoughtful. I have a child at a comprehensive and this doesn’t quite chime with our experience. High levels of exiting for low level disruption; setting in many subjects from y8, access to uni progs,wouldn’t be first in family to go, scholars prog, external maths prog
