A charter to keep children in the classroom
There seems to be a lot of hatred for the Mayor of London or should I say the leader of the assembly. Much of this seems politically or even racially motivated and very biased because he is only the mouthpiece or employee of those that meet to discuss, put forward and plan for the future. Everyone on here focuses on ulez but doesn’t mention or even appreciate he is nearer to achieving net zero than anywhere else in the country. Similar with youth. He is attacked for not bringing crime down but not appreciated for giving all children free lunches. Now he is launching a charter to keep children that may go on to commit crimes in their schools, instead of excluding them. As there is evidence to say that those involved in crimes, particularly violent crime are almost always those that were excluded or did not attend school regularly. He is realistic and appreciates that some children will still be excluded especially in regard to the safety of others but it is hoped that increasing inclusivity and involvement may finally start the change that needs to be made to encourage young people’s futures to be positive instead of negative.
