Earlier this week 'Evening Standard' published an exaggeration (typical of legacy media) about the "truancy crisis". Yes, there may be a correlation between attendance and attainment, but in a world of technology and flexibility, perhaps there should be less concern. Instead of schools being considered as a low cost baby-sit/social care/children services centre, secondary school childrens' families could be allowed to develop their own personalised education.
If schools distribute their subjects' curricula to parents, it could be used to make their own progress. Behavioural issues could be efficiently resolved (i.e. "go home, learn; when ready to learn your own social development, come back"). Open access educational resources made available (if can be done on a temporary basis for proprietary content during a pseudo-pandemic, could also be done for permanence) for the children to learn at home. So on Fridays, #wfh (parents) and #lfh (children).
By coincidence to eventual completion of the holiday read Gaia A New Look at Life on Earth, a legal case in Switzerland about action to mitigate alleged climate change was of interest because of the supposed human rights abuses due to inaction. Earth (or more aptly) Ocean, will survive just fine when humans have gone. The capitalists are already scared at the prospect of stabilisation, then decline in human population due to female emancipation. "Growth" cannot continue in perpetuity. Obvious!
Publication of the Cass review of so-called "gender services for children" seems to be a thorough investigation of the controversies involved. Be sure to expect reluctance application of a clinical analysis, especially within fediverse from the disproportionate noise of privileged European descendant males that seek to define womanhood.
