The White Paper There are some good bits, but also an approach that isn't going to work for my family

Best thing I've read on the SEND reforms: personal, really lucid, great on the policy context jimlauder.substack.com/p/the-white-...

I simply adore that your cat is called Mr Bean.

Haha, it does look a bit like that

Adapt The Castle Of Otranto, you cowards

iambic tetrameter ass stick

Superb guide to the govt's SEND plans. Without Special Needs jungle, the conversation would be sorely lacking. Must-read!

No, I meant the closure - really sad and shocking

Christ, this is awful

Regardless of the White Paper’s merits, today may be a difficult day for SEN parents in your life. Please be nice to them. It is hard to see these conversations carried out mostly by politicians/media with zero idea of the agony, humiliation & expense involved in fighting for your child’s rights.

This post took eighteen minutes to write. I cried three times.

I’ve had an iPhone update and now it is genuinely impossible to write anything on my phone without having it autocorrected, no matter how carefully I type, to complete gibberish. Slow hand clap, Apple. I guess this is one way to drive me back to a pay-as-you-go Nokia?

This is good to hear! fingers crossed for positive results on the scan.

Thank you, Stephen! Hope you are doing well, I was thinking about you the other day

Thanks so much, Angela!
