And I think The Times made a bad call on many points when publishing that article... I can’t see how they thought it helpful, for anyone. There are a lot of issues around education, SEND or not, and while it often comes down to money, I also think the management of how money is used, as well as the choice of staffing, level of traing, effort, understanding, care etc, all contribute towards the resulting education (or lack thereof). Certainly not a simple issue... x #KCACOLSSensational Learning with Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722372510407260358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-51854602263025727332019-11-06T13:39:43.200-08:002019-11-06T13:39:43.200-08:00The Times article was upsetting as it tried to pla...The Times article was upsetting as it tried to play the blame game. The right to an education is basic and everyone deserves the support they need. The funding crisis is heartbreaking but I really believe the more we support children the less spend on support needed later in life. I think an education is far more valuble than a lifetime supply of chocolate and thats coming from a chocoholic! Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS.

In my second year of teaching I had 11 SEN students in a class of 34 and I had to show they were all getting 15 hours of 1:1 and still not making progress to be eligible. It’s tough. Schools are drastically underfunded and it is only getting worse #kcacolsSarah Arthurwearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182659584731313050noreply@blogger.com
