Fasinating application of the Batman Effect to poverty work. The point about autopilot desensitization explains why schools can have disadvantage data everywhere but still miss the actual kids struggling, the metric becomes wallpaper. I've noticed similar patterns in nonprofit spaces where everyone talks about 'serving vulnerable populations' but the daily rituals never actually disrupt routin assumptions. The Rainbow Trust framing is spot-on,light within struggle not absence of it.
Thanks for the reflection. Yes, I did find myself deep in thought over this during the festive period. Thanks also for your comment about Rainbow Trust, I'll pass this on
Brilliant article and one that resonates with my experience in schools. I also love what you wrote about rainbows requiring challenging conditions *and* light in order to appear.
