This is clearly a child safeguarding issue. This family, including a 6yo, will be on the streets in two days. Where is the urgency? @IslingonBC @islingtongztte @CarolineRussell @Flo_williamson @jilanichy @JanetBurgess1 @nickwayne01 @TStacy_ @helencagnoni @IslingtonLabour
Hi @IslingtonBC @EmilyThornberry, a vulnerable mother of a young child is being evicted from her council accommodation next week and has nowhere to go. She made a homeless application on 7 September and has still heard nothing. This is getting increasingly urgent. Can you help?

My daughter, in grade 9, hates math. She's on track with the rest of them now. She's sad because she knows it's not, but school/education has worn her out. I wish we would just be honest and finally say that the larger system will never change. @HumResPro

Such a heartwarming thread!
If you really like and enjoy your parents and want to be around them as an adult, what did they do when you were a kid/what do they do now to make that the case?

Only about 300 videos on youtube globally have crossed a billion views. 30 are from india. 18 of those are kiddie songs and bhajans. Leaving those aside, I bet most in our bubble won’t be able to guess a single video on the indian billion views list. Truly fascinating.

Our story this week reproduces startling estimates (by McKinsey) of learning loss caused by covid school disruptions. Huge lags in some populous places: India, Brazil, Mexico, Bangladesh. And in the Philippines—where most kids are *still* out of school. economist.com/international/…

Huge news out of Desmos today. The curriculum (and as far as I can tell, Activity Builder) is being acquired by Amplify. Meanwhile, the calculator will spin off as a separate company, Desmos Studio. This is gigantic. Tectonic. But is it good?

Customer is always right - Just wish educationists understood and believed this so they look at the product (education).
If kids don’t like math, there are two uncomfortable truths to be dealt with. That’s okay and it is almost 100% our fault. Math isn’t boring. We make it so. I will never blame a student for hating math.
