not forgotten and no one is kneeling either.

  "The forgotten: how White working-class pupils have been let down, and how to change it"
Among the many factors that may combine to put White working-class pupils at a disadvantage are:

  1. Persistent and multi generational disadvantage
  2. Placed-based factors, including regional economics and under-investment
  3. Family experience of education
  4. A lack of social capital (for example the absence of community organisations and youth groups)
  5. Disengagement from the curriculum
  6. A failure to address low participation in higher education


OK so lets admit, it you all heard this and much more from myself ...
Now turns out l was telling you the truth.
We grew up in northern town badly damaged and not repaired during WW2.
Fishing industry disseminated ...underemployment very low wages.
touched recently on poor schooling so revisit previous.
experienced violence from awful teachers at Hull grammar mid 70`s.
Its not that no one took interest too busy surviving to concern with how we doing in a wicked school.
But here l did better it appears a good Church at Cott rd,Good Church folk who attended took wide interest in all of the children and young people's development.
Access to secular youth provision, which informally lead to professional career.

The educational leanings were known as the three main English ,maths, etc But like myself many were excluded in days when exclusion was more permanent.
we wanted to achieve but that was not always pointed out as options we could take up.......

Try to express grace if offered an opportunity

 Weather warnings about Arctic blast, we get them every time in this period of the season. So wrap up well, on a cold November day in Autumn...

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
