‘Children are holding a mirror up to us’: why are England’s kids refusing to go to school?

As a new academic year begins, more children than ever are worried about returning. What’s being done to get them into the classroom – and is that always the best idea?

Bit of a proud supervisor moment here, as Leeya presented her EP thesis research (alongside the fab Marc and Poppy) about the experiences of homeless children, young people and families - a phenomenal talk bring together three excellent pieces of doctoral research #TwitterEPs

1/ I often read, see, hear EPs discussing evidence-based practice and am frequently confused at the linguistic and semantic loops that occur because evidence is consistently assumed to *only* or *just* mean 'research findings'... #TwitterEPs @Rob_Briner

9 sec's of state for edu in 12yrs, 6 of these in the last 4y alone. The notion that this gov know the slightest thing about development, learning, teaching, schools + wellbeing is laughable. The gov have only contempt for whole sector. Malthouse's words today at #CPC22 mean zilch

I had a great conversation with @VMcKeeverCNBC from @CNBCMakeIt about the importance of unstructured, child-led play, problem solving and even boredom! #SummerOfPlay #twittereps @DECPOfficial @edpsyuk @BPSOfficial

Educational psychologist: If there's one skill you should teach your kids, this is it

An educational psychologist says parents shouldn't underestimate the value of one skill when it comes to their child's learning and development.

The approach of the gov and particularly the education secretary in the past few weeks is indefensible. Threatening to take LAs to court, threatening to sue teachers. Millions of children back for one day. Absent from that address was "I'm sorry" #borishasfailedtheuk #edutwitter

It's not lost on me that professional body processes were weaponised against an openly gay man who is an unwavering ally for trans people... Anyway, enough of that - now to continue with my passion for inclusion, accessibility and diversity within our profession 🙏🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

"Psychometric testing created by white researchers tends to construct ‘normality’ in line w/ white experiences, positioning those who deviate from these definitions as ‘abnormal’." @sarahgillborn on how psychology reproduces racism #twittereps #science

I rarely discuss my own experiences of poverty growing up, but the images of what families are getting is enraging. On £55 my mum could feed 4 people for nearly 2 weeks. If you want master level budgeting skills - talk to a parent with no money. #FoodPoverty #FreeSchoolMeals

@emmasoares11 Meal times are such a social period of the day - it brings to mind, for me, how important meal times are in nurture interventions as a time to talk, interact, share, listen and learn, together
