There’s a whole thread, but this sums it up @UoDPrimaryITE what can you do to change this?
What's missing is recognition that school in its current form is not a place where every child can thrive. There's no mention of the shaming behaviour strategies, how anxiety is used to motivate or how children are actively prevented from playing in order to sit in a desk. 10/

Okay - so I am a glutton for punishment/need a stick to keep going - and as lots of mum's health issues are related to her diabetes, this is a cause close to my heart:swim22.diabetes.org.uk/fundr…

So the 10K challenge is smashed - did an average of over 11.5K a day meaning at least 128 miles walked for BCH in February. Feeling so much better for it and only £15 still to raise to meet fundraising target :)
