Or he simply suggested that there is power/agency in what we choose to give attention to. Amplifying fatalism by definition does not serve progressive politics and it is psychologically protective to try to locate a ‘choice’ even in extremis. This is not the same as saying ‘pull yourself together’

Even at the time I was astounded that the summer was not taken as an opportunity to get really bold and creative about how to keep schools safely open - even if children were not all in every day. I was a trustee of a MAT desperate to support families in our poor part of London
