Screen time damages children more than being born into poverty, a study has found.
A review of 2.8 million young people across 64 countries found that digital media use had a bigger impact on development than wealth or parenting ⤵️

When directly asked “are you in favour of male teachers watching young girls getting changed for swimming”…
…The SCHOOLS STANDARDS MINISTER @Georgia_Gould responded by spluttering, stammering and um/er. She then whaffled unrelated nonsense about nursery children & nappies.
1) She claims not to know the full details of the story. Yet this was a story across much of the national press *that day*. It spans her remit, why isn’t she across her basic brief?
2) How can anyone, who answers anything other than an immediate *NO* to that question, be anywhere near school standards?
I despair at what this country is becoming and I don’t want moronic people like this, anywhere near my child’s education. Sadly, the sector is full of ‘em 🤦🏼♀️

I am not in favour of male teachers watching girls getting changed.
It’s really not a hard question.
Labour has got itself in such a mess on safeguarding children. First puberty blockers, now this car crash.

Small silences are important in our lives especially because of information overload from devices.
Quiet moments aren’t empty - they are where your thoughts finally have room to settle.

Humour can be helpful in many ways – by improving mood, helping people see situations in a less serious way, maintaining relationships, and reducing stress and anxiety. But some jokes can be hurtful, cruel and unnecessary.
