Quick Glance: Parents' Struggle Against School Refusal Due to Fear for Children
- Kerry Grantham, a parent from Bray, Co Wicklow, searches the dictionary for the term 'school refusal', but she does not find the definition.
- Education experts use various terms for distressed young people who feel unable to attend school - school refusal, school phobia, or school reluctance - all agreeing that this is becoming a growing concern.
- Parents face significant challenges as their children may be anxious, have an undiagnosed condition, experience bullying, or encounter issues with teachers. Support is often lacking, leading to battles to access alternative services.
- Grantham continues to worry about the future, not just her son's education, but also the developmental impact. When she had to return to work, he would spend time alone in his room. She once confided in a friend that it felt like he had been forgotten by the world.

Quick Glance: The Future of Native American Foster Children Will Be Decided by the Supreme Court
- Houle was subject to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) because of his tribal status—a legislation that establishes federal requirements for the out-of-home placement of American Indian children.
- Supporters of the Indian Child Welfare Act argue that if the plaintiffs win, it will change more than simply how the welfare system handles Native children and could threaten tribal sovereignty.
- Last term, the conservative Supreme Court, by a vote of 6-3, restricted tribal sovereignty in a case involving the prosecution of non-Indians who commit crimes on tribal grounds.
- One of the key concerns connecting the plaintiffs' experiences is whether the ICWA treats Native American children differently based on their race.
