🧵1/2 @GMB - which ones of the below counts as skiving? 1. My child didn't go to school because she is depressed and locked herself in her room for days and won't talk to anyone. 2. My child has been self harming and talking about suicide
If only the problem was attendance. If only the real issue was just that children aren’t at school, and so they can’t learn. For then the solution would be so simple. (illustration @_MissingTheMark) 1/
Absolutely appalled at the title @GMB used “school skivers - parents or teachers responsible?”
As the saying goes “kids do well if they can” and some children can’t because of unmet needs at school.

If we spent as much time teaching people to interact with autistic children as we do teaching autistic children to interact with others, the world would be a better place #AutismAcceptanceDay
I often wonder how many children Jo Frost had on her show that were not naughty, but in fact neurodivergent. This is a very stigmatising comment to make for someone with such a large platform. They are not labels, they are a medical diagnosis which brings support for a child.
I feel sorry for all the kids who do not know what it was to sit down in your school uniform and watch Newsround, Blue Peter & then Neighbours every weeknight! #NeighboursFinale
Be very careful if you send your tablet or phone back to @VodafoneUK for repair! Sent our child’s back and was told it’s out of warranty because it has this damage! We even went into the shop to send it so it wasn’t damaged. It was immaculate when it was sent.
Dear @Clubhouse
If we have “belled” a room and the organizer has changed the time - can you please send us a notification in app to let us know?
Sincerely,
Listeners who arrange their calendars based on rooms 💜
