What are we doing to our children that around 28% are avoiding #school due to #anxiety?
We pressurise children more & more, make #education a test-based, inflexible activity, stress out those delivering it & then expose them to all sorts of sh*t on #socialmedia..... and then tell them to fail at school is to fail at life.
No wonder they're anxious....
Frankly I'm surprised its 'only' 28%!
