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.

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.

May 19, 2026, Daily Echo: Primary school reports surge in pupils with special needs - Yahoo News UK

Plans have been lodged to provide new facilities for students with special educational needs as demand soars.

The proposal at Boorley Park Primary School will see a new, single-storey modular building added to the school site next to the play area.

If approved by planners at Eastleigh Borough Council, the new building will provide classrooms, meeting rooms, accessible facilities, and support spaces for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). . . .

The trust said the application “responds to increasing demand for specialist provision”.

Cllr Prad Bains, cabinet member for children’s services, said he is “really pleased” to see the planning application and has backed the proposals.

He said: “This provision will be able to support so many local children and their families, and this is incredibly positive for the local area. . . .
