Interesting conv with a SENCO last week about some neurodiverse children prefg to be homeschooled and running & #39;virtual classes& #39;.
1. Children with #ADHD were showing incredible enthusiasm in #learning at their own pace.
2. Children with #Autism were discovering that they 1/2

could spend time in looking at a subj matter in depth and & #39;specialising& #39; in it (one pupil enthu about #Lyridsmeteorshower and prepd a presentation)
3. Anxious children were focussing on their #learning than their anxiety.
What does that mean for #education in a #COVID society?2/

It actually made me think:
1. We need to re-think education as #learning not simply aggregating facts
2. A #covidsafe society will need the diversity in skills that today& #39;s children will have if they #Learn and are not simply #taught
3. Children with https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬆️" title="Upwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Upwards arrow">self-esteem learn more

4. Socialisation doesn& #39;t necessarily happen F2F, can happen virtually b4 physically.
5. It should hopefully https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow"> #COVID transmission if #SocialDistanacing can be maintained whilst children progress through their school years.
6. @Sugatam& #39;s work needs 2 be expanded further and wider
