my grandaughter who is 7 has been taught to cross the road since she started walking She crosses residential roads on her own but busy roads even with a crossing,Not yet! I've been crossing roads since I was 7yrs old but I had to jump back onto the pavement yesterday when a car rounded the bend exceeding the speed limit. Both actions are required.
Thanks for linking to that, Eddie. Listening at the weekend when this was being floated, I couldn't help thinking that the stink which has been raised around SEN, and in a great part around the PM interviews and the fallout thereafter on the Blog, has had a part to play in pushing this matter higher up the Government's agenda.
I'm not a parent, but as an ex teacher I'm heartily glad to see some movement on the issue, and hope there will be some much needed action to improve the situation for those children affected.
I was also struck by something said in the last few days on the radio (sorry, I cannot remember who said it) about all children needing to have their educational needs assessed. A wonderful idea, but without the resources to 'deliver' after the assessment, this can only remain a pipe dream. The worst thing would be to raise hopes and expectations for these only to be dashed on the rocks of reality.
