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.

June 5, 2019, Norwich (CT) Bulletin: Norwich committee discusses ideas for combining schools https://www.norwichbulletin.com/news/20190605/norwich-committee-discusses-ideas-for-combining-schools NORWICH - A city committee has discussed ideas for realigning the city’s schools…. …Either idea would let the district use Bishop for special education students, allowing it to save current costs Norwich now pays to have them educated elsewhere. Tuition for out-of-district special education students is often $50,000 to $100,000. Alderman Joseph DeLucia said that in addition, it would be a good idea to provide space so Norwich could have room to accept special education students from out of town and get tuition money for them. Dolliver said that the district also needs a better place than it currently has to house students who are excluded from school, mostly because they’ve been expelled. She said the district is responsible now for 60 students expelled from NFA. …
