"A child’s needs must come first — not a school’s targets. And if a student is reluctant to go to school, it’s a sign of a greater problem. Perhaps we need to rethink the role of schools: increasingly, they are becoming more rigid in focus — more vocational and less creative. Throwing cash unthinkingly at this is neither going to help the anxious children nor regain the confidence of parents.
“The problem is that they aren’t listening to us, and don’t seem able to learn anything from what we’re trying to tell them,” says Ellie’s mother, Nancy. “Education should be the key to unlocking the world and a passport to freedom. By that measure, more and more of our children are becoming prisoners.”"

@ScotRail you've invested money & built 2 new stations on this line yet we have old rolling stock with not enough seats which are often delayed. When do we get new bigger trains?

@ScotRail And there's about another 20 folk getting on at Dyce who will have to stand! This line needs dualling so the train capacity can increase! And 4 carriages are needed on every Inverness train!
@naomicfisher I would love to do this as have just be rehoused and my child's anxiety and need for control is bigger than ever just now. Do you offer a discount for those on UC/CA at all please?
Dear @ScotRail Please ask @NetworkRailSCOT to dual the line between Inverness - Inverurie so you can increase the amount of trains. Or put more than 2 carriages on your existing trains. Trying to explain to an Autistic child as to why there are never any seats is very stressful.
@ScotRail Hello is there anywhere we can give feedback about needing more local train services? Like a survey or something? Specifically more trains on the Aberdeen to Insch line and Insch to Inverurie/Aberdeen? The wait between trains is so lengthy at present!
@ScotRail Sorry two trains! It's incredibly frustrating having to keep cancelling appointments due to the constantly cancelled trains when actually today the weather certainly isn't anywhere as bad as the previous 2 Fridays! Infact it's not even raining or windy!
