You can’t build a successful education system around shame, embarrassment, detention & exclusion. You can’t create inclusion for all via a curriculum that only works for some. So as the saying goes “If the child doesn’t learn the way you teach, start teaching the way they learn.”

Words get bandied about in policy terms. Concepts get tightly defined in theory. Such as compassion, collaboration, care... Yet we risk these fine words, concepts, and values becoming meaningless if we don't truly live and breathe them in all their raw, messy, evolving selves.

“We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us” Let Jo’s message of kindness, respect, and togetherness ring out across the world today. Her words and spirit have never been more true, important or needed. With love to all who miss her. ♥️

Imagine a world with #basicincome and free school meals for ALL where parents didn’t have to suffer the indignity of revealing their poverty. @ubilabnetwork.bsky.social @citizennetwork.bsky.social @carefull.bsky.social @scottsantens.com www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“I asked people what good work looks like in this century & what it would take to get there. I heard the same stories again & again.” @hilarycottam.bsky.social reminds us: narrow economic models of work no longer serve us. She offers a 21st century reimaging rooted in the ideas of everyday experts.

Some years ago when I attended an introduction to ABCD @cormacrussell.bsky.social asked a question “What do you do where you live with your neighbours” This profoundly changed the way I thought about my role as a citizen. I can testify community-centred renewal happens over a cuppa, sharing lives.

This is so true, as a passionate citizen with deep commitment to community, I am always saddened when ‘the system’ does not listen or hear and has a knack of trying to make us blobs into squares! www.google.com/search?q=the...
