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.

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.

(UK) Albrighton: Plans for residential special school to "meet demand for SPED places"

Jan 26, 2022, BBC News: Plans for special education school near Albrighton approved https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-shropshire-60144416

Central England

Plans have been approved to convert a farmhouse into a residential special school. Up to 65 jobs will be created at the school, near Albrighton in Shropshire, and it will accommodate 18 children. Witherslack Group, which put forward the proposals, said it would help meet demand for special educational needs (SEN) places in the east of the county…. The council added the school would be "an important educational facility". The seven-bed house, Poole Meadow, is on 15.5 acres of grounds off Beamish Lane and was on the market for £1.8m [$2.4M] before being bought by the group, which operates nearly 50 special schools, children's homes and vocational training centres across England.
