80-90% of 4-5 year olds arrive to primary school in pushchairs?

Early Years wasn't included in Jan 2021 lockdown, it's been two years since they went back to normal (besides large absences of staff and children due to sickness)
Case study 1
Case study 2
Case 3 Teacher
"I've been off with covid twice, they've had zero stability"
Oh, so early years has been trying to operate normally for around 2 years pretending there isn't a pandemic but staff getting sick harms children
Who could have imagined that might be the case?
Lockdown made kids act autistic
Genes and parents make a difference but masks are the real culprit, non reactive babies
A rich vs poor comparison
Moved on off the beach by police, that would have only happened summer 2020
Feels like many of these are old quotes used a year or more ago
Ah its the schools fault for focusing too much on wellbeing?
Ah "months since the last lockdown"?
I recognise most of these first hand accounts used by UsforThem in articles last year
So just recycling old stuff or cut and paste from Molly Kingsley book?
It's not ghost children, it's children with 10% or more absence
DfE data provided to JCVI says main cause of absence is sickness from covid
Who'd have thought letting a pandemic virus rip through schools would result in more absence?
Ah shit, imagine if your child was autistic but they missed out on an EHCP and the support they needed because it was chalked up as "lockdown harms"
Still claiming to being silenced and facing censorship, whilst Chair of Education Select Committee, Children's Commissioner, Covid Recovery APPG, CRG have all been promoting Us For Them
Look how she's been silenced in the past few days
Interview with Spiked Online
Interview with Allison Pearson from Telegraph who Kingsley herself writes for
Interview on TalkRadio with JHB
Just wall to wall coverage of ppl against infecting kids and children with longcovid
There's also an IFS report doing the rounds
@FraserNelson ignores the "all" downward trajectory pre pandemic
Communication largest drop on IFS graph, look at the long covid study, verbal memory had greatest impact...
