"All learning requires effort-the effort of attention and repeated distributed practice to forge and fix new neural networks."
- E.D. Hirsch
Deep learning requires repeated and directed hard work. The priority should NOT be to make learning effortless and fun. Those are good things teachers can do IN ADDITION to direct and monitored instruction.

The way we help students with stress is to help them to master that stress or see the trigger as less stressful, not by confirming that the source of their anxiety must be avoided at all costs.

'Overprotective Childhood Experiences' (OCEs) are a real issue in how we sometimes approach supporting children with SEND, if it leads to too-low expectations of conduct or output. Ironically, this can lead to a genuinely adverse environment for them *and* their peers.

Here's a term we really need: "Overprotective Childhood Experiences", or OCEs -- a counterpart to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Raising kids on "Easy Mode" stunts their learning and development. From Niklas Serning: unherd.com/2025/10/easy-m… @LetGrowOrg
