Education systems have gone a long way towards being more relational over the last decade, but much remains to be done to support young people...

@Keir_Starmer Same old arguments we have been hearing since the 1800s while the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. No one should be born a millionaire while others are born with no safe place to live. Tax wealth and support those who need it. Welfare is not an incentive to laziness!

@SteveChalke Children are in school 6 to 7 hours a day. Let's say another hour getting ready and travelling to and from school. That's 1/3rd. Another 1/3 as a minimum is spent sleeping. That leaves only 1/3 of their time with family and friends 5 days a week. This should not involve homework.

When a child has experienced trauma, their behaviour isn’t a moral failing, it’s communication. The anger you see? That’s pain. The defiance? That’s fear. And the silence? That’s a survival strategy. None of this is about excusing bad behaviour. It’s about understanding it!

@LexieLovesBooks @gerrydiamond71 @teamsquarepeg I dont mean included in the taught session. I mean included as a human being in their regulation. A quiet space but with an adult with them who can help them process or express what is happening for them. It's the isolation booths I have issue with.

The use of isolation booths in schools should be banned says British Psychological Society.🧠🌱

@Keir_Starmer Caught? He offered himself up 5 times. He was asking to go home. He was sent to a local train station and did as he was told. He needs to be brought back in and deported for sure but stop talking as though he is some escaped criminal mastermind.

[lets heal and recover @recovery_your]

Trauma survivors rarely say, “I need help.”
They say:
“I’ll figure it out.”
“It’s fine.”
“I’ve handled worse.”
They become their own safety net.
Because life taught them that depending on others isn’t safe.

@lilacshortskrt @nate_postlethwt Exactly that. Not forgiveness as in its OK that he did that or that I feel there was a reason that justifies it. That could never be true. I just wont waste anymore time or energy on him. I'm free (mostly).

@nate_postlethwt It was a conscious move from what was it about me that made them do this, to what was it about them that made them do this, to moving beyond it. I'm not even sure that is forgiveness, I just dont want to spend my life hating them either.

[Dr Christina Cooper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @ccooper1309]

@nate_postlethwt For me forgiveness was not really about forgiveness. It was about understanding that the problem was in them not me. And also about taking back the power, a conscious decision not to let them have any more of me. I didn't tell them I forgave them. I just decided it was over.

@Keir_Starmer We are worried about the shambolic leadership of thos country and the fat cats hoarding wealth while our children starve. And now we are also worried about intrusive monitoring of citizens for no discernable benefit.
