I think the whole unhealthy living promotion in this country is a bigger strain on the NHS and our kids than any immigration problem will ever be.

People need proper food eduction and fitness eduction from a young age here.

Country full of fat, booze and drug problems bottle necking the NHS

Was having a chat with my mate the other day about this, he eats like a pig but our job is quite hands on and on top of that he goes to the gym. His food education is so low. But he says he started going to the gym and got the bug . We thought that making it mandatory to take up some sort of physical activity a week and get a tax break for it may work in the grand scheme of things. Things may get to get educated in their formative adult years.

Could also be a new social norm where you may actually meet people that helps in many things mentally

Disagree. People arent robots. You need art and literature to teach them humanity, compassion, cohesion, respectful disagreement - all the core skills for life. Arts cant just be for private schools - that kills social mobility

Work skills become irrelevant in 2 seconds with the arrival of a new bit of tech. Human skills like independent thought and critical analysis are for life

I think there is space for both...hence fluid

Has he started to have a nose around about food/nutrition? Sometimes going to the gym can then lead to such subjects. Online influencers in the gym/fitness space are plentiful, and quite often touch on food/diet as well

Even without that, there is loads...........move more, eat less and keep ahead of your diet is the best, easiest advice I ever had

Personally I think education itself is vulnerable to AI .

Two reasons really.
1. The curriculum needs a complete reboot. We are still teaching something akin to the 70s and 80s. The world has changed so much.
2. It's been proven that 1 to 1 tuition (or even small groups) is far more effective and garners much better results and outcomes. AI can facilitate this with bells on.

With regards to number one, couldn’t agree more. The school I currently teach at developed an extra-curricular programme four years ago which sees pupils involved weekly with a wide-range of activities designed to develop life skills, resilience, and to introduce them to things they might just fall in love with and carry forward with them through life. It’s been a real success.

I’ve no doubt that you’re right about number two, although I think that learning will have to continue to be in a school-type environment, from community, motivation and monitoring of learning perspectives. It can’t be too far away, though, that every child will have an AI assistant in the classroom ready to help them with the particular areas of learning they are struggling with/want to investigate more.

My daughters school does (did) exactly the same thing...called 'enrichment' and it was built into the timetable as the last lesson of the day Mon-Thurs. The range of subjects/interests/activities was fantastic. It was something that attracted us to the school in the first place.
However this year they have backtracked on this and now it's labelled 'after school clubs' the offering is much reduced (lots of sport) and isn't compulsory. Really disappointing, it was a fantastic opportunity in it's previous form
