  1. CW: good article against fines for missed school days (UK)

    "Anna Maxwell Martin calls for end to ‘cruel, idiotic’ fines for school absence"

    "I think we need to look hard at how we make things better for children in schools. ...

    "You can’t teach children to behave better by making them feel shit. It doesn’t work. We need to meet their needs."

    Also, "home education increased by 20% between 2022-23 and 2023-24"! Did not know that.

    If this many kids adamantly resist going to school, what's going on at #school? Shit like this is not the kids'problem. It's the #educationsystem's problem.

    And I'm wondering how many #queer :newpride: :anqueer_flag: kids resist going to school

  8. What if #schoolrefusal isn’t the kids but the parents? #covid has still got people scared.

  9. I still can't say that it’s good my sons became #schoolrefusers, but the #schoolrefusal has taught me a lot.
    I think the future problems would have been bigger if they had just gone to school.

    My own stereotypes are also gone and my own life is changing.

  11. If my son isn’t a #schoolrefuser, I'm not using SNS now.

    I was able to learn a lot of information about #schoolrefusal.
    The best thing was that I could hear a lot of voices from the school refusers and their families.
    After all, the opinions of experienced people are more convincing than specialists.

  12. The hardest time for me after my son became a #schoolrefuser was "when he first stopped going to school."
    I was very afraid of deviating from the route because I had a stereotypical idea of education.

    If there is a system that can support parents during this period, I think that unnecessary pressure will be reduced and children will be able to spend their time at home with more peace of mind.

  13. When my sons became #schoolrefusers, some parents told me to go to free school.
    But, my sons rejected even free schools.

    All school refusers are completely different!

  14. “The findings of this study suggest that youth suicides are closely tied with in-person school attendance.”

    nber.org/papers/w30795

    This aligns with experiences in our communities of neurodivergent and disabled people, where we reframe “school refusal” as “school-induced anxiety”. Bullying is only a part of the problem.

  15. This is a really positive story, aimed at dealing with young people's #anxiety around returning to #school post-pandemic. I shall be interested to see what the results are, and I suspect they will be better than punitive approaches that punish parents for children's difficulties.

    #SchoolRefusal Too often it's assumed that kids miss school because of poor parenting, which both stigmatises families and excuses the lack of support for genuinely struggling young people.

  16. I've got a lot of friends and colleagues who are struggling with their children 'school refusing'.

    I say, I don't call it 'refusing' and when they look puzzled I say, 'I call it voting with their feet'

  17. @KatyElphinstone My child is currently being bullied and in a meeting to discuss this I referred to it as ‘bullying’, the teachers referred to it as ‘friendship issues’. 😡

    BUT!! That wasn’t the worst bit! They then said they would refer to a state wide ABA program if there was mire ‘school refusal’ and they then asked my child:

    “Do you know why you have to go to school?”

    The answer was; “ To form habits” WHAT!!!???
    Apparently that’s what we go to school for!
