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.

U.S. Bans the Last Type of Asbestos Still in Use
Quick Glance: EPA Bans Asbestos Despite Decades-Long Partial Ban
  • The EPA has announced a comprehensive ban on asbestos, a carcinogen that is still used in some products such as chlorine bleach, brake pads, and other products, killing tens of thousands of Americans annually.

  • The final rule signifies a significant expansion of EPA regulation under a landmark 2016 law that revamped regulations for tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in everyday products.

  • The new rule would prohibit the use of chrysotile asbestos, the only ongoing use of asbestos in the U.S., found in products like brake linings and gaskets, used to manufacture chlorine bleach and sodium hydroxide.

  • The EPA rule will ban imports of asbestos for chlor-alkali use immediately upon publication, but a ban on most other uses would come into effect in two years.
