Awful censorship of a school library in Greater Manchester. Not only are they misguidedly "protecting" teens from Twilight and the Da Vinci Code (alongside many more serious books), they're hounding their librarian with a disciplinary investigation.

I wonder whether the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) realises that the increase in parental complaints is because UK schools are not fit for purpose & parents want better for their children than school leaders are able (or willing?) to provide. The level of blame-shifting onto parents by a broken & dysfunctional education system is disappointing. Nevertheless, school leaders will comtinue to take home massive salaries.

John Harris gives a critical assessment of the Starmer government's white paper on children with special educational needs (SEND), published today. Some positive aspects, many concerns. Good to see his assessment laid out in some detail: he never speaks without reason.

Increasingly worried about my son's secondary school. Not only have they told us that they don't mark books in favour of other methods of in-class "feedback" but they've now told all parents that there will be no support for dyslexic children above what classroom teachers provide in lessons. They announce this saying what they do is in line with EEF guidance.

I’ve been following the latest moves to shorten UK school summer holidays with interest. Even the unions have jumped on the bandwagon of calling for shorter summer holidays.

UK already among the western countries that have the SHORTEST summer holidays (about 42 days). Others have: Canada 56-70, Finland 70, Spain 70-84, Sweden 63-70, USA 70-84.

Children need MORE play time not less. UK tops international charts of children’s unhappiness and dislike of school.

At the same time one of my son’s schools is asking for donations of books and Pritt Sticks because they are hard up, the Harris Federation boss Sir Dan Moynihan’s has a salary that exceeds £500K (the CEO of my son’s MAT earns £300k).

Absolute scandal.
