@mrjamesob.bsky.social although the reasons kids are now always inside are complex 1 reason is our attitude to children. I constantly see Facebook posts on local groups with photos complaining about kids playing outside with footballs/ making noise / running around or heaven forbid 'standing around'

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Disruptive kids drove me mad at school in the 90s.There was a culture, that behaving well/ working hard saw you labelled 'a boffin' which was a terrible insult in the 1990s & left you open to ridicule.These kids got the teachers focus over hard working kids who were struggling

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I will never forget seeing a child i knew to have a difficult home life crying on the last day of term, asking the teaching assistant if she could still come in on Monday. For kids for whom school is a refuge the long holiday must be hell.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you've reminded me that someone i know had a school friend Barry Duck, whose father was called Donald. Born before Disney was well known in the UK.

Every time I watch Musk speak I’m confused as to how a man reached all of his various lofty positions without the ability to get sentences out in a coherent manner

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the saddest thing is fish and chips are still not wrapped in newspaper & the signs in the Dartford tunnel remain unchanged so these people must still be as unhappy as ever.
