Schooling

Elaine, Sara and Mumtaz share their experiences of primary school. From zero tolerance policies, adultification and repression of creativity, to daily detentions and being told to ‘just eat better’ when struggling and asking for support. Undiagnosed dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD under Babylon's schooling system saw them labelled as ‘nasty’, ‘disruptive’ and ‘never going anywhere’. Learning to re-learn and re-love who they are is an ongoing journey.OVERLOOKEDBrought to you by Surviving Society Productions in collaboration with No More Exclusions.Presented byElaineMumtazSaraExecutively produced by Ewa JasiewiczEdited by George Ofori-Addo
