I’m not sure that being labelled a future benefit claimant at primary school is the great motivating force that Milburn and #Labour think it is. We abolished the 11+ in the UK because we didn’t want children to be written off at that age and wanted equal opportunity of education. Primary school kids think of jobs in a similar way to how they think of fairytales…this will be just crushing and become a self fulfilling prophecy. We need to raise the morale of all kids. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/aug/07/english-primary-schools-to-be-told-to-identify-children-at-risk-of-future-unemployment

  • @JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social Researchers: The biggest impact on education is how enthusiastic the students are, which correlates strongly with how enthusiastic the teachers are. Government: Okay, what if we pay teachers badly and tell some students that they suck and will never amount to anything?
