❓After the humiliating debacle of their plans for welfare reform, do ministers really want to alienate another vulnerable group? This week, Parenting Circle Founder @CristinaOhq asks if Labour is prepared to alienate SEND parents in the Spectator. https://t.co/iVUS562gSX

Our children grow unhappy when they start secondary school. That's because relationships grow nasty there. @forbabyssake @FairHearingOrg @ImpactEd_Group #schools

Making sure your children were "school ready" was part of parenting. No longer. #school @KindredSquared @Parentkind @ParentingCirc1e

The government has decided enough is enough and has backed a new website to help parents prepare their children for school.

📚 ‘Literacy is in our cultural DNA. So is - or at least was - grit. The National Literacy Trust has given up on both.’ Parenting Circle founder @CristinaOhq in The @spectator on Sunday. Audiobooks won’t help children read better

The National Literacy Trust, the very institution that should be protecting our literary heritage, wants us to replace reading with audio.

🏡 ‘Engage parents with school, and you have a far better accountability system than Ofsted could ever hope to deliver.’ @CristinaOhq in The @spectator this week: Reforming Ofsted won’t fix Britain’s problem schools

Truly distressing. Children don't need us to make excuses for this. We need to step up and get parenting back on track, urgently. Parents need guidance, peer-networks and social accountability. https://t.co/2xxoAU6FkB.

Starmer wants to get children ‘school ready' -- he'd better get parents on board his #PlanforChange
