Recent research in UK schools found that 52% of young people identified school as having a negative impact on their mental health.

The authors of the paper, which include educational psychologists @SarSivers and @DrMaddi1, suggest that we need to stop locating the problem in young people, and start asking how we can create a school system which puts the psychological needs of young people first.

@SarSivers says "Our focus should be on how we engage and motivate children and young people to enjoy education & have a love for learning. It is time to create an education system which fits 21st century learners rather than try and make 21st century learners fit into the current system. It is time to be innovative."

This is why punishing parents and young people for attendance problems won't help. @UKLabour have it backwards. Attendance isn't the most pressing problem for education. The problem is, what is going on in our schools which makes so many young people distressed? Punishing them for poor attendance won't solve that.
