Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Primary school teachers are having to spend two and half hours per day supporting children in their class who are not school-ready, according to research from an early years charity.
Some teachers said the current class of children arriving in reception have the worst behaviour of any cohort, explaining: “Their listening skills are appalling.
According to a survey by charity Kindred², teachers said 37 per cent of children in their reception class are unable to listen and respond to basic instructions.
One parent explained that the children starting reception now would have spent two years, or half their life, in lockdown and just around the people in their immediate home.
One teacher said that parents needed to realise that it was their duty to teach their children simple things like getting dressed, toileting and how to brush their teeth.
Director of Kindred², Felicity Gillespie, said the report “should be a watershed moment for schools and parents because we know that children who are behind before they begin reception are more likely to struggle throughout life”.
