Strong case being made here by @joelbtalcott.bsky.social and his colleagues for better and more comprehensive screening in our primary schools, to help all children who may struggle to learn. 👇👇👇

The case for a universal SEND screener in early primary

Now that we’re on Bluesky, it’s a good time to bring back #badsciencedrawings – a collection of figures that prove that science is more science than art.
