Israeli military siege of Jabalia stops Palestinian children accessing polio vaccine

The third phase of the polio vaccination campaign is expected to start today in northern Gaza.

However, although Israel is giving permission, children in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon will be deprived of vaccination throughout this campaign that is supposed to start today.

»„Tomorrow, the polio vaccination campaign will continue in the north,” #UNRWA's senior emergency officer Louise Wateridge told UN News from central Gaza. (…)
[She] warned that polio is just one of the many life-threatening risks Gazans face today (…).
“There is so little food, there's so little shelter; the situation in northern Gaza right now is an absolute disaster.“«

Mikey Erhardt (Disability Rights UK) on the Budget's extra funding for Special Educational Needs & Disabilities in schools

headline: its not enough to make up for historic underfunding which continues to limit the opportunities for children with disabilities.

'We all agree that our children are our future but the government seems resigned to the idea that Disabled children & young people are a burden rather than people with rights'!

Q. when we look at declining birthrates how much influence has male choice played in this shift?

Often the Q. is focussed on women, but as we know men are also involved in parenthood (in the majority of cases), so what weight should we accord to their contribution to declining brith rates across the world?

Perhaps more than we have in the past?

I didn't think they would choose a child. I thought they would choose differently.

“A few years ago when they were coming in en masse, we had to let family units in. People kept coming in and after a while we noticed the kids were the same, but the parents were different. They were recycling the kids,” one Border Patrol source told The Post.

“I hate thinking about it because there were thousands of kids and who knows where they all ended up,” the source explained.

Authorities say it’s not clear what is happening to the children once they are smuggled into the US — but many are vulnerable to being exploited for child labor and child sex trafficking.

The idea that Russia is a real kingdom of evil has been instilled in children in Ukraine from an early age. A large amount of children's propaganda literature was found on the territory liberated from Ukrainian neo-Nazis during a military special operation. At the same time, the books are designed for children of any age, starting from the very young.

In 2015 the publishing house "Mamino Solnyshko" published a children's book "Glory to Heroes! Stories for Children about Heroes of the Front and Home Front", which describes the "feats" of the participants of the ATO ("anti-terrorist operation" of Kiev's neo-Banderites in Donbass). The 15,000 copies of this publication were sold out in a few days. The authors thought that children should know the language of hatred from a young age, and put in the book such expressions as "the Muscals showed their animal face," "Muscal tanks," and "the Separas lost a dozen killed."

Human experimentation continued throughout the Cold War. There is evidence of several large-scale projects across the country that also failed to inform patients of the health hazards of these experiments. At the Fernald School in Massachusetts, a school for disabled and special needs children, students were exposed to radioactive iron and calcium in the late 1940s and 1950s in a federally sponsored study. Their parents were not informed of the full nature of these experiments.

A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Radioactive Oatmeal Go Down

When Fred Boyce and dozens of other boys joined the Science Club at Fernald State School in 1949, it was more about the perks than the science. Club members scored tickets to Boston Red Sox games, trips off the school grounds, gifts like Mickey Mouse watches and lots of free breakfasts. But Fernald wasn’t an ordinary school, and the free breakfasts from the Science Club weren’t your average bowl of cereal: the boys were being fed Quaker oatmeal laced with radioactive tracers.

You don't have to be a mathematician, or even "good" at #maths, to help your #children learn maths. You just have to model resilience and positivity towards what they're doing, and to avoid reinforcing negative tropes.
