"The fact that we're here at all today is ridiculous. We shouldn't even be here."

Good news to see that charges were dropped against Rich Heyman. He has already been punished too much with the loss of his teaching position,simply for rejecting the violent actions of police on campus during pro #Palestine protests.

Meta is abandoning its misinformation program despite studies showing such programs are effective.

▪️ Why abandon it?

▪️ What impact could this have on misinformation online?

▪️ Why might Meta qualify this as a "censorship" issue?

▪️ How might young people be harmed as a result of this?

Paul Givan, DUP MLA is a disgrace to his office as Minister for education. He already engineered some important funding which was to imporove disadvantaged schools, and those with children in poverty so those grants went to middle class schools like Friends College in Lisburn.
here he is today, refusing two schools Integrated status despite both schools parents etc voting by 82% for integrated status.
Paul Givan’s behaviour suggests he’s a bigoted narrow minded minister who never wants to see better relations across all communities in Northern Ireland.

Absolutely LOVE this. Lots of schools round my way had orchestras or, at the very least, a diverse and accessible music programme when I was growing up. The opportunity to learn an instrument as part of a well-rounded state education should be available to every child.

The death of the middle-class professional spells danger for Labour

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/02/death-of-middle-class-professional-spells-danger-for-labour

I think it does - but not in the direction that Hinsliff thinks. I suggest that it is likely to see Labour's share, already relatively small, of the national vote falling to parties of 'the left' (a difficult definition to pin down). Changes are coming, I just have difficulty seeing what the educated (as opposed to opportunists) can see in Reforms 'promises'

8. Main-carer parents are likely to possess the direct knowledge and experience needed to make good judgement calls about the lives & wellbeing of their children. But being relatively powerless and/or penniless makes them less equipped to make those calls, or take meaningful action to improve the lives of their kids.

Should parents be paid?

There are lots of reasons why we tend to think parents shouldn't be paid. I'll cover those (end of thread).

Whitehall ‘braced for private schools collapse’ due to fee rises

The Independent Schools Council says the threat of closures after the imposition of VAT on fees is ‘very real’

Alternatively ‘government aware that there may be more demand for normal schools in the UK’ and well connected parents who lobby for them.

But that would not be hyperbolic enough for The Times.

In the six years since the last Inquiry into the crisis in England’s special educational needs & disabilities (Send) reported its findings little has got better & in many ways things have worsened; so what is needed is clearly another(!) Inquiry.

There are some complex issues that may require further investigation, but the key problem is pretty easy to state:

SEND is underfunded!

Another Inquiry may help, but what's really needed is more (and stable) money!
