UK education has a massive blind spot. If your child is bright and neurodivergent (2e), there is almost no place for them. Too complex for mainstream. Too able for specialist. This isn’t a parenting problem, it’s a system failure. #EDUCATION #GIFTED #2e

The UK education system seems more concerned with rankings and behaviour compliance than actually educating children. If your child doesn’t fit the mould, especially if they’re bright and neurodivergent, they’re pushed out. That’s not inclusion. That’s selection.

The health service is being put at risk because overseas health professionals increasingly see the UK as an “unwelcoming, racist” country, in part because of the government’s tough approach to immigration, Jeanette Dickson said.

‘A school environment characterised by a profound lack of empathy’ My only surprise about this depressing report is how long it has taken for the dark side of the Mossbourne cult to be acknowledged. A lack of care and respect for children was written into the formula and celebrated from day one.
A quote from the report into Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy states: Overall, the evidence captured about the voices of pupils paint a picture of a school environment characterised by a profound lack of empathy. One of the pupils recalled their first day, thinking ‘we have to be like robots’ and then being told when they left that staff had been ‘especially instructed to glare at year 7 students, to pick on them and intimidate them’.

Whilst there's justifiable outrage at what's been going on at Mossbourne Perhaps the bigger question should be focused on Ofsted, who went in & found it outstanding In the same way schools who were "flattening the grass" or accused of off-rolling, still got outstanding Ofsted failed to find fault
