The question isn't whether institutional childcare or home care is "better." The question is whether public policy treats families fairly when they make different choices about caring for their children. #FamilyPolicy #ParentalLeave #Childcare #ChildRights #FamilyPolicy #Childcare #ChildRights #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
A nation is more than a territory, a government or a passport. It is a shared story, and culture is the language in which that story is told. So how should a country tax the very culture that defines it? What makes Estonia; Estonia? It is not simply the borders on a map or the institutions of the Republic. It is the Estonian language, the songs people know, the literature they read, the traditions they preserve, the architecture they recognise, the stories they tell their children and the artists who continue to reinterpret all of it for a new generation. Estonia is not the only country with high VAT There is an important misconception in the current debate. Estonia’s 24% VAT is high, but having a high standard VAT rate does not mean that a country has to apply that same rate to culture. The European Union leaves member states considerable freedom to establish reduced VAT rates. Under the current framework, countries can apply reduced rates as low as 5% to eligible categories. #culture #Estonia #Tax #CulturalTax https://tunitemusic.com/post/24-vat-on-culture-how-estonia-compares-with-europe/

The collective amnesia on Drumcree is astounding. It was a disaster which ended with 3 children dead after their house was firebombed by the UVF. Talk about legal arguments all you want but the Drumcree march should be left in the past where it belongs. #Drumcree #NorthernIreland #CollectiveAmnesia #GB

I think that the right to die, on our own terms, is one of the most important ones. But having a family places responsibility on us. A great grandfather of mine could not take it anymore, and the devastation it inflicted on his children can still be felt generations later. #RightToDie #FamilyResponsibility #MentalHealth #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
The organization Save the Children warns that the supply situation for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, especially for children, could continue to deteriorate dramatically by the end of the year due to hunger, lack of access to clean water, and cuts in aid funding.

🚨 45 000 enfants sans toit en France : ce que votre ville peut vraiment faire 📒 Enfants sans toit, mais pas sans droits — Le pouvoir d'agir des Villes face à l'exclusion des enfants liée au logement ✍️ UNICEF France. Directrice de la publication : Adeline Hazan. Coordination éditoriale : Jodie Soret et Julie Zerlauth. Rédaction : Juliette Droux et Julie Lignon - Septembre 2025 Capsules Audio de Pratiques en Santé 🎙️🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S81xDU_8wJQ 🏠👧 Exclusion liée au logement : un guide qui transforme le rôle des communes en leviers concrets pour repérer, accueillir et protéger les enfants sans-domicile. 🔍 Cartographie des compétences, pistes d'action par champ de droit, grille d'auto-diagnostic pour les villes. Analyse de Pratiques en Santé et lien vers la source ℹ️➕ https://www.pratiquesensante.com/blog/pratiques-15/enfants-sans-toit-mais-pas-sans-droits-le-pouvoir-d-agir-des-villes-face-a-l-exclusion-des-enfants-liee-au-logement-6138 📌 Ce guide traduit un problème de droits (plus de 45 000 enfants privés de domicile, p.3) en leviers d'action municipaux concrets et documentés. Il cartographie précisément qui fait quoi entre l'État, le département et la commune (p.6-7), puis décline pour chaque champ — repérage, habitat, hébergement, logement, petite enfance, école, santé, alimentation — des pistes opérationnelles illustrées par des dispositifs réels et transférables. Sa valeur d'usage : outiller un acteur local pour repérer les enfants invisibles, adapter l'accueil et l'orientation, et sécuriser l'accès aux droits fondamentaux malgré des compétences communales limitées. La grille d'auto-évaluation finale (p.108-111) en fait un support de diagnostic directement mobilisable en collectivité. 🇬🇧: Roofless children, but not without rights — The power of cities to act against child housing exclusion - https://www.pratiquesensante.com/en/blog/practices-15/enfants-sans-toit-mais-pas-sans-droits-le-pouvoir-d-agir-des-villes-face-a-l-exclusion-des-enfants-liee-au-logement-6138 #️⃣ #pratiquesensante #DroitsDeLenfant #SansDomicilisme #MalLogement #VilleAmieDesEnfants #PrécaritéInfantile #AccèsAuxSoins #InégalitésSociales
What if the graph of a linear function started with ants crossing a beach? 🐜🏖️ Instead of telling children, “Vacation is over. Pay attention — today we start with formulas and graphs,” imagine following the paths of a few ants across the sand. One ant walks steadily in one direction. Another starts farther away. Their trails become lines. Their starting points and directions begin to matter. And suddenly, y=ax+b is no longer just a formula on the board — it describes a journey. Maybe mathematics works better when curiosity comes before notation. #math #LinearFunction #MathForKids #MathEducation #Graphs #Learning #Curiosity #BackToSchool #ChildPsychology #LearningMotivation #EverydayMath #DiscoveryLearning #20260820 #MrNumberwise #20260821 #0013 #MrNumberwise #English
