Elaine, Sara and Mumtaz, continue their conversation about the impacts of schooling, taking a deeper dive into the physical and verbal violence of racist teachers. From being grabbed, denied the right to go the toilet, police called on them for eating in a library (when white children are doing exactly the same) to gendered fatphobia from male teachers. Education for liberation remains the horizon.

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.
