Albert Einstein no aprendió a leer hasta los siete años ni a hablar con fluidez hasta los nueve, su maestra lo calificó como "mortalmente lerdo". Le costó sangre, sudor y lágrimas acceder a la Escuela Politécnica... después de conseguirlo y finalizar su carrera, su tesis doctoral no causó la más mínima impresión al tribunal que la juzgó, de hecho, la consideraron "bastante mediocre". A pesar de ello Einstein acabó convirtiéndose en uno de los científicos más geniales del mundo, y como él, muchos genios en los más diversos ámbitos fueron también malos estudiantes:

For American children raised exclusively in wartime - that is, a Cold War containing monolithic communism turned hot in the jungles of Southeast Asia - and the first to grow up with televised combat, Vietnam was predominately a mediated experience. Walter Cronkite was the voice of the conflict, and grim, nightly statistics the most recognizable feature. But as involvement grew, Vietnam affected numerous changes in child life, comparable to the childhood impact of previous conflicts - chiefly the Civil War and World War II - whose intensity and duration also dominated American culture.

The safeguarding and child protection challenges in education have never been more complex, nor the legal duties on schools and colleges more stringent. The criminal and sexual exploitation of children, FGM, radicalization, and online safety are sadly all now part of the remit, as are self-harm and mental health issues. And these safeguarding challenges are found not only in urban communities but also in leafy suburbs and rural idylls throughout.

Theirs is a generation disempowered from steering their lives while society’s systems are failing to provide the support they need. Yet, a country only prospers when its children—from all walks of life—thrive, meaning that the United Kingdom now faces some consequential choices. Raising the Nation builds a compelling case showing why we must nurture smart, strong and kind children to one day inherit the stewardship of society.

Attracting tens of thousands of men and women hoping to strike it rich, the Klondike gold rush brought with it a frenzy of activity unlike anything the world had ever seen.
