Are any north east or Highland schools doing great work around cost of living education? Surely now more than ever we need to teach kids how the world of finance works, and to manage household budgets? If so please leave a comment and I'll DM you.
Jargon watch part two:
'There may be a perception of encirclement of the village by turbines however this is unlikely to be experienced by residential receptors, either in their properties or enjoying the amenity ground around their homes.'
Residential receptors = eyes 👀👀👀

If you're needing a Monday morning uplift to the soul, check out the amazing work @KingussieHigh is doing to provide a home from home for Ukrainian students. They gave a powerful presentation at education committee for @HighlandCouncil last week. pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/edu…
My latest autism report: north east parents and activists say more support is needed to address 'diagnose and dump' culture. Plus National Autistic Society call for a commissioner to drive improvements. @AutismScotland

Teachers/parents - What do you plan to do on school strike day? Do you have plans with your kids? Struggling to find childcare for work? Has the school provided work for kids to do at home? Grateful for any feedback please!
I mean, he’s not wrong! Banksy exhibit to round off a fantastic visit to Salford for #LDRSconf22 . Thanks to everyone for organising it. Nice to meet the other LDRs - some amazing talent in that room.

So delighted to get to write this cool story about my old school, Hillhead, and the book written by P7s about the wartime bombings. Thanks to Aaron Mullins for sharing this treasure! He plans to now give it to @WickSociety pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/edu…

Any parents out there who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder and would be willing to share your experiences with me for an article in the P&J? It’s a sensible, advice-led story for families as we approach winter. – at Wick, Scotland

I'm seeing some misunderstanding the benefits debate as if it were workers v unemployed.
Roughly 40% of those who receive Universal Credit get them as in-work benefits to top up low incomes. Many others too have disabilities or mental health problems making work difficult.
I wrote an investigative series on autistic kids education in summer and was shocked by what parents told me . This though, is on another level. I feel like it should lead to criminal prosecutions. I wouldn't treat my dog this way. His poor family. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62819017
It's embarrassing how excited I am about this 😆 Love me some DIY. I need ALL THE THINGS.
