Would love to know the % of boys that read for pleasure in the 80s unless you include the Argos catalogue, Smash Hits, the lyrics on vinyl sleeves & Subbuteo rules. Constantly shaming today's youngsters is probably not useful. Yes they might have phones but we had video, Atari & the Spectrum 48K!

As the NHS struggles to cope with the surging flu outbreak, some suggest shutting schools as a fire break. But as Covid taught us, this would have huge ramifications for both children & families. That decision should only ever be taken if it has become impossible to staff a school safely.

I also had a positive experience in A&E recently. 4 hours, a CT scan to check for brain bleed and stroke, loads of tests. Sent home with - Labyrinthitis, which was awful but not as bad as they initially thought. All for free. Privatising the NHS would be tragic.

“Lord Of The Flies” may be a classic, but it’s also a bleak statement about how humans - boys, in this case - are riddled with violent, selfish cruelty & savagery. However, a real-life version happened in 1965 with 6 boys marooned on a deserted island in Tonga - & things went very differently! 1/

You can't see DLD (Developmental Language Disorder ) so what does it look like in the classroom? DLD can look like ADHD but you'll also notice that children with DLD have difficulty using words and sentences and understanding, even when they are focussed. radld.org/dld-educatio... #DLDday

In one study half of all children with Developmental Language Disorder also had dyslexia. I've seen similar percentages the other way round. So when a child has issues with reading, think about their down language and vice versa.
