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.

April 25, 2022, New Milton Advertiser: Public invited to have say on plans for new £4.9m [$6.2M] special needs hub at Brockenhurst College https://www.advertiserandtimes.co.uk/news/public-meeting-on-plans-for-4-9m-special-needs-hub-at-brock-9251155/

S. England BROCKENHURST residents have been invited to have their say on plans for a new £4.9m special needs hub at the college…. The building will incorporate a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) "independence hub" and house its existing foundation studies department. It is hope to be open by the end of March 2023. College vice-principal Limor Feingold said: “We would like the Brockenhurst community to be part of this exciting project and are holding a public information event to start the ball rolling. “The new development would help us build on our strong reputation as a provider of SEND and foundation studies education, while also expanding our teaching space to support the ongoing demographic increase in 16-19 learners.”
