Fascinating. I know I go on about this, but... I really don't think we're going to improve education outcomes - or health outcomes - unless we focus much more on the economic and social conditions in which people live: for too many that's economic insecurity, deepening poverty and homelessness.

I made a list of #pension peeps (skeeps?), so I can see their posts separately - not entirely sure of the diffs between lists & feeds, but I think anyone can follow my list if that appeals. I believe on my profile as a tab, and subscribe. Not wholly sure what I'm doing. Happy to add you, just say!
