1. Eagles fly alone at a high altitude and not with sparrows; they do not mix with other smaller birds. Birds of a feather flock together. No other bird goes to the height of the eagle. Eagles fly with eagles. Never in a flock...

He says the problem with teachers is, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?” He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach. I decide...

Running is rubbish! It’s boring, expensive, and makes you fat. I just wouldn’t bother if I were you. It makes you put on weight! Running makes you fat, flabby and overweight. You’ll be left with pasty skin and a chubby tum. Not a good look! It’s bad for your health! Not on...

Atkins Academy Thank you, Donna! It does indeed feel like it's all coming together baby step by baby step. We're overwhelmed with the feedback we've got and all the generous support. But we still need to raise a lot more money and we need to beg people to donate resources, materials and things we can sell to make money. Loved your id...ea of some kind of jumble sale at the fete - will def try to organise that. Thinking of making a leaflet too to ask people to give their old stuff to us. At this rate we're gonna have to go looking for eBay and collections volunteers too!! lol xxx

Yes, you are quite right, Kate. It's not only the kids that need educating - it's the adults too! I keep saying that I'm not really worried about the kids - they can't help themselves - it's the adults who scare me.

If we can pull this off, I think we have a unique opportunity to make a difference. Especially through our Community Outreach ... See Moreprojects we can reach out to more and more people in the wider community and show them that these kids are no worse than any other kids in history. They just need to be accepted for who they are and taken seriously, instead of constantly being excluded and told they're not good enough.
