This is why I remain an advocate for Citizenship in the national Curriculum.

Understanding the technical aspects of how our law and politics works is vital when assessing policy choices.

Laying down the basics at schools gives a better chance that adults can do so later in life.

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn.

Literally have spent my own money on so much cereal bars, rice cakes and pens. Last year I lended one of my coats to a Year 8 until his mum got paid and could afford to buy him one. Wouldn’t have it any other way but this says something about how the system relies on its people and not money.

Liri et les autres, ou l’éternelle opposition entre les «bons» et les «mauvais» migrants Le cas de la jeune femme, sous le coup d’une OQTF malgré une promesse d’embauche, a fait le tour des médias. Mais les histoires d’immigrés modèles ne doivent pas passer pour des exceptions, ni occulter celles de nombreux invisibles.

✍️ Le cas de Liri, jeune femme originaire du Kosovo sous le coup d’une OQTF malgré une promesse d’embauche, a fait le tour des médias. Mais les histoires d’immigrés modèles ne doivent pas passer pour des exceptions, ni occulter celles de nombreux invisibles.

Opinion | The World Is a Mess, and It’s Still the Best Time to Be Alive (Gift Article) What matters isn’t so much a Trump rant as that children are less likely to die now than at any other time in the history of the world.

Every day, 30,000 people worldwide move out of extreme poverty. Every 3 seconds, someone becomes literate. And 80 million children's lives saved since 2000. Every other day I'll barrage you with woe, but this is my gust of perspective: 2024 was the best year ever to live: nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Not great news for MLF but I’m also not against a revamp that is online CPD based. Makes it easier to access and use. Maybe we’ll even get consulted, who knows!!

Etats-Unis : la dessinatrice de presse Ann Telnaes quitte le « Washington Post » après le rejet d’une caricature sur son propriétaire, Jeff Bezos Le dessin montre Jeff Bezos offrant un sac d’argent à une statue de Donald Trump. Le quotidien a affirmé que ce rejet avait été émis alors qu’un « éditorial sur le même sujet » venait d’être publié et qu’un autre, satirique, était déjà prévu.

Do you know that the single largest reasons folks cite to not give to charity boil down to "I thought someone else was already giving enough?"

Stunts like this aren't just sickening, they directly contribute to people dying from lack of support. Because Cindy saw a post about LOTS of donated costs.

Opinion | Giving Kids Some Autonomy Has Surprising Results Letting them take some responsibility for their choices is what prepares them for adult life.

“In a polarized nation, one point of agreement deserves more attention: Young adults say they feel woefully unprepared for life in the work force, and employers say they’re right,” write the authors Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop.

It cannot be said and talked about enough that the greatest threat this generation faces is incel and general anti feminine (not just feminist) behaviour. The way some school boys talk and behave around girls and women is nerve wracking at best

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping? We would rather talk about literally everything else.

Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:

This is true but also school banning phones is not enough. Covid also has had a massive impact on how young people interact with each other. I’m always shocked when year 7 tell each other to “shut up” out loud in class! No understanding the seriousness of their words and attitudes
