Youthful hopes, by scores, to all, When the locks are crisp and curl’d; Into me my maudlin gall And my mockeries of the world (The vision of sin)

Edmund J. Sullivan, from A dream of fair women, & other poems, by Alfred Lord Tennyson, London, 1900.

"People who are depressed display some surprising advantages in their thinking skills.

Depressed people:

1. process information more deeply. 2. are more accurate at complex tasks. 3. make better judgements on detail-oriented information. 4. make more accurate cost-benefit analyses…

The symptoms of depression, which often include lethargy, difficulty sleeping, poor concentration and disinterest in other people or the external world, may actually be ways of saving energy while a person is focusing on the problem.”

"The requirements of a teacher’s job have become an ever-accumulating list of tasks that they are expected to complete to an ‘outstanding’ level. While the list of tasks and the expectations on them has increased, they still teach for the same amount of hours and are expected to use all their other time to complete these tasks. An average teacher is working a 60-hour week by the Department for Education’s own admission. Even if this was term-time only, it means that when averaged out, they are working 45 hours a week over 52 weeks - with no holidays. This is in the face of impossible targets where the teacher is held wholly accountable for whatever level or grade a child achieves, ignoring other factors over which they have no control.”
