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.

Sept 1, 2025, Lincolnshire World: Lincolnshire County Council faces £20m [$27M] extra school costs amid calls for national change

Lincolnshire County Council’s spending on schools is set to be £20 million [$27M] over budget this year as leaders say the government needs to change the system.

The ballooning costs are mainly down to councils’ responsibilities for children with special education needs and disabilities (SEND).

School budgets are ring-fenced, so they can’t push an authority into effective bankruptcy the same way normal deficits can.

A committee meeting on Thursday heard that huge spending on schools was now considered common among councils, and there was little they could do about it.
