discourses of linguistic deficiency are rife in England’s education system. rooted in classist, ableist, and racist assumptions about language, they frame marginalised children as responsible for their own struggles and deflect attention away from the state.

Yes, sign languages are beautiful but did you know hearing parents are told not to sign with their deaf children by hearing professionals and have to fork out thousands of £ of their own money to learn to sign and to talk to their own kids? #SignLanguageWeek
celebrating linguistic diversity is not linguistic justice 😗

Hello, fellow ducks! 🦆 You might have noticed that young children can develop particularly intense interests. These passions can dominate their thinking and play for a time… and may even feel a little obsessive. But rest assured they are completely normal - and likely beneficial. Research suggests that they not only enhance perseverance, but improve attention and can improve complex thinking. So roll them! Whether it’s ducks or dinosaurs or horses… you name it… it can be great fun to watch your child develop as a subject matter expert. Young Riley, dressed as a duck, can’t get to the waterfront fast enough to introduce herself to her fellow water fowl. I could watch this video, posted to TT by rileykscott, a million times. Too sweet.

A collapse would cause temperatures to plunge across the northern hemisphere and shift rainfall patterns southward, starving places like the UK of the freshwater needed for drinking and agriculture. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…
