Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit.
Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.

I am concerned by new data from @educationgovuk which shows that nearly 1.2 million children in England have SEN support without an EHCP – up 4.7% from 2022.
We need urgent reform of the SEND system to improve the life chances of England’s children.

This. No funding, increasing need, no special school places, routes to diagnosis and assessment blocked or with extreme waits leading to school just being left to manage without the funding. School’s increasingly having very little choice and those that are inclusive hit hardest

This week, questions from @CommonsEd asked how we spot kids ‘crying wolf’ with mental health challenges around attendance. This 2nd Attendance Inquiry session was held during #mentalhealthawarenessweek2023 with this year’s focus on Anxiety.

There's been a disastrous loss of experienced teachers from the profession and not enough people are aware of it, or talking about it.
Even more worrying, not enough is being done to stop the over-50s leaving.

Do schools need to make adjustments to meet the multiple different needs of children?
I say Yes!

I’m seeing quite a lot of people on here implying or even overtly stating that making reasonable adjustments for children with SEND is somehow wrong, lowering teacher expectations and unfair. Just because you can’t see a disability it doesn’t mean it’s not there. What I’m reading

Today, Rishi Sunak is focusing on how we can get more teenagers to study maths for longer.
Meanwhile:
780,000 children have been referred for mental health support. 250,000 of them have been refused.
22% of school pupils are "persistent absentees".
There's the maths crisis.

Along the way, I think people have mistaken criticism for being constructive. I don't think inspection is a bad idea at all but I do think we need to find a new way.

While we're thinking about #IWD2023 let's not forget that 80% of autistic girls (and those brought up as girls) remain undiagnosed at the age of 18.
