The perils of reading the Mail Online ... its education correspondent has written a piece about a report written by the government’s ‘behaviour tsar’, according to whom, “Children at risk of descending into a life of crime and aggression can and should be identified at the age of two ... His report is expected to be accepted by Education Secretary Michael Gove today.”
The article, which can be found at:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2111844/Children-age-TWO-lessons-anger-management-contain-themselves.html#ixzz1oWUljrO3 fails to mention the circumstances through which two year olds could acquire such behaviour traits. Those of us who believe in the value of (very) early intervention and think that prevention is better than cure - and possibly cheaper - might feel that the correspondent, and Mr Gove, is missing something.
Then again, perhaps we shouldn’t believe all we read in the press.
