Childhood Lost

Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).

Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.

Loss of Brain Trust features over 9,000 news stories published worldwide since January, 2017

What will happen in another 4 years? How can we go on like this? This is a national (and international) problem of monumental proportions. We have an entire new class of children who cannot be accommodated by the system: many are manifestly neurologically impaired. Meanwhile, the government and the medical profession sleep on regardless.

The generation of American children born after 1990 are arguably the sickest generation in the history of our country.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

It seemed to me that with rising autism prevalence, you’d also see rising autism costs to society, and it turns out, the costs are catastrophic.
They calculated that in 2015 autism cost the United States $268 billion and they projected that if autism continues at its current rate, we’re looking at one trillion dollars a year in autism costs by 2025, so within five years.

(Ireland) Laois school to add two new SPED classrooms

June 6, 2024, Laois Today: Castletown National School get approval for two new special educational needs classrooms

https://www.laoistoday.ie/2024/06/06/castletown-national-school-get-approval-for-two-new-special-educational-needs-classrooms/

Castletown National School can now proceed with construction works of two new special educational needs classrooms, a drop-off point for students and new parking facilities.

The Government has given approval to the school to now proceed to sign the contract with the builder and organise them to move on-site to begin construction works.

The building of the two new classrooms for special educational needs will provide quality resources and facilities that the children rightfully deserve.

Fianna Fail TD Sean Fleming welcomed the news.

He said: “Thank you to the school management, teachers and staff, parents and everyone involved for all their hard work to get this project to this stage. . . .
