I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

âIn 2011, I was a junior official working on SEND reforms, including introducing EHCPs. Because these included a health element, we had to present the idea to Department of Health officials. They laughed at us, and that meeting is seared into my memoryâ

I am reading the new book by the Facebook / Meta whistleblower - Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. Interesting bit where she says that the big tech bosses all push their products on other people's kids but refuse to let their own kids use them.

A few bits here are just bonkers. Firstly the prison population issues are absolutely not because of increases in exclusion. Secondly it is weird to suggest that because there are links between the cohort excluded from school and those committing serious violence we should stop exclusions.

This is why you don't design curricula around "jobs of the future". We can't predict the future but we do know what general skills and knowledge will be valuable whatever job you do.

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!
