Primary schools to be told to identify children at risk of future unemployment
www.theguardian.com/society/2026... As a teacher, I can only say that this is both fucking insane and deeply malign (unintentionally, I hope!) as a piece of social engineering…
Chris5Assumptions will be made about kids on the basis of that kid’s background, the influence and wealth of their parents, their rate of development (which can vary enormously), their accent and speech, their behaviour and maturity, all of which will lead to hugely subjective takes…
Jeff1Jesus H. I hope all the good teachers can see where this is headed. Those families struggling with enforced poverty have been disadvantaged by default for decades. 😳😬
Paul C. Dobbs1This is terrible. It's evidentially clear that streaming (ie. stigmatising) students makes things worse. Take a leaf out of Finland's book
Chris1I find myself saying this a lot about Labour’s education policy these days…
