I think multilingual migrants (self interest obvs😉) should receive extra bonus points bc it infers intellectual capacity and potential.
Side note: the locals have always used me as their human spellcheck and I’m ofc happy to help.

Yes I’ve seen the aftermath of this damage and folks struggle to identify the cause and the resolution, yet they’re often well connected so that a solution is often one click away.

Yes I’m v familiar with Joy’s description; I tweeted about it historically bc it is a handy cluster of psychological issues to identify timely, and to find focus early in therapy, or else there’d be risk of therapy drifting and failing to find focus.

Your occasional reminder that 93% of UK parents do not send their children to a private school.

The Times & Sunday Times @thetimes.com · 2d

School fees were a shock, then came VAT, uniforms, trips …
