No single villain in the crisis facing young men — and it’s not boys vs girls. Shame dysregulates; you can’t reach Bloom from the survival brain.

Sparked by Gareth Southgate’s new film, via @BBCr4today. My take + the data 👇

Absolutely love the triggering this has produced amongst the usual crowd.

Try to understand the man and his positioning in society growing up and you might see the truth of what he is alluding to.

Trauma does not exist in a vacuum.
To cure the child, you heal the parent.
We need to reform the environment where our young people are raised. 🧠🌱

@HeatherBo63 You and me both - problem shared and all that

[Steve Chalke @SteveChalke]

It is very simple: If we are really looking to raise standards in schools we must also invest in children’s, youth and family support as well as a wider pedagogy and curriculum. It is the only way to ensure every child is given the best possible start in life.

As ⁦@KumarAshwin⁩ says … “Fixing the SEND system is not only a moral imperative, it’s essential for our country’s future. Too many children are being denied the support they need to thrive & the cost of inaction is measured … in growing inequality” https://t.co/hkJz8SmxwJ

@HeatherBo63 Oh gosh that’s a hard hitting truth. When you’ve not had even one person you can tell your truth to for most of your life, it’s hard.

[Andy Howard, FCCT DFIFIP @andyhoward68]

@HeatherBo63 @SteveChalke Providing they get the right support elsewhere, they can be helped. It took me best part of 50 years to get there - I’m determined to help as many young people as I can get there quicker than that!

Out today. Why schools don't work for far too many children - and what should we be doing about it! My conversation with Amal Rajan! Available from @BBCSounds now.

@WHOOP hi; anyone found the battery does really fast after owning a Whoop for a while? Had mine just under a year (auto renew) & now it doesn’t last 4 days between charges?!

Cracking passage from Pratchett that always makes me laugh.

@prestigeflowers hi! I ordered a bunch of flowers yesterday and paid for next day before 1pm, but there’s not been a delivery or notification of dispatch - please can you explain?

@AskWithings I have a 3 month old body scan. This morning, the handle will not retract. How do I request a replacement! UK based.

In case anyone has a spare hour & is interested in knowing why I care so deeply for the students I work with;

This is the change we need! I am so glad to be part of the steering group driving this forwards!

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

I hope the Government will work with us to change an education system too focused on the university route and excluding far too many young people from school.

We need two equal routes at 14 - one academic, one technical - and our #MBacc achieves that. 🙌🏻
