Re English degrees - as a student Katherine Rundell read Donne's most difficult poem. It gave her an idea for a children's book. Yesterday Disney announced a monster deal for that book. So that English degree will soon create and sustain thousands of highly skilled UK jobs.

No amount of pizza, donuts, or jeans passes will make up for a toxic culture where the adults in the building aren't supported and treated like professionals.

Let's remind everyone one more time. For your school to be a trauma-informed school, it also has to be a trauma-informed workplace. The adults are carrying just as much trauma as the kids.

Wishing everyone a happy and successful start to the new academic year. A new chapter full of possibilities! 😁
