I'm not so worried about 'declining memory' as much as the 'collapse of the interior world' (which is why my WIP is about exactly this)

Children need access to high-quality reading material in schools: books, magazines, comics, etc. So many schools have been unable to buy anything this year due to the ongoing budget crisis. And last year. And the year before. Something has to change because our pupils deserve better.

Apparently Bridget Phillipson is using the term "relentless improvement" as well as "driving up standards". A big issue we have in education atm is that *everyone* feels under too much pressure - children, teachers and parents. This kind of attitude is toxic and impacts on retention and attendance.

This 👇🏻 and feel compelled to speak up to stop it from happening to people who aren’t as fortunate to be in their position.
"middle class women of a certain age" have agency they are confident in using, are settled in their careers, and no longer feel that they have to put up with appalling behaviour from crappy men because they need the work.
“…the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age”
We’re probably three weeks from Gregg Wallace either getting a column in The Sun or running in a by-election as a Reform candidate. Or both.

Who to believe ? Dr. Jack Shonkoff at Harvard centre for the developing child or an anonymous Ofsted “research” report that references Ofsted’s own “research” and some studies that relate to adults rather than under 5s? Gosh it’s a dilemma…
