Seriously, are we still teaching kids about the Industrial Revolution like it's Ancient Rome?
Why are we still dedicating so much curriculum time to historical events that, frankly, are the root cause of most of our current environmental mess? It’s like giving a lecture on the benefits of smoking while simultaneously trying to treat

Instead of just talking about policing, we need to be talking about how we can genuinely improve people's lives at a local level, and that starts with investing in renewable energy infrastructure right in our communities. Imagine solar pane

Compassionate Endings, Not Just a Right
I've always belived that the issue of assisted dying is a deeply personal one, and it's definately time for a more compassionate approach. As someone who's passionate about social justice and human rights, I think we need to be looking at t
Every Child Deserves a Personalised Learning Plan
I've always believed that our education system should be about nurturing the unique talents and abilities of each child, rather than just catering to those who are deemed 'special needs'. The current system is far too narrow and often relia
