Belonging is Ofsted’s latest buzzword, but most of the noise misses the point. Children experience school through language, the medium that shapes every social cue. If we treat belonging as emotional, we will keep trying to solve the wrong problem.

The language of belonging

Trump is going to grant a "full and complete pardon" to drug trafficker and former Honduran President Juan Hernandez. Meanwhile, Trump is executing drug traffickers in the Carribean. Let that sink in.

Isn't that what we have been doing every time though? It makes no difference. Rachel Reeves was asked abt this on the radio this week, her response was so arrogant. She said "we don't need that". They couldn't care less what Scottish people want. We need another approach.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Fascinating that the Herald and Scotsman letters pages are replete with the Green Ink Gang bien pensants usuals today bemoaning the inability of UK 🇬🇧 parties to save the UK.
