Publisher Picador is considering alterations to Kate Clanchy’s Orwell prize-winning memoir amid accusations of racial and ableist stereotyping.

Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me sparked online criticism, including from fellow authors, after a reader review highlighted alleged problematic descriptions of children.

The 2019 book examines Clanchy’s time teaching in UK state schools.

In response, the author said she’s “grateful” for a chance to rewrite it.

“I know I got many things wrong, and welcome the chance to write better, more lovingly”, she wrote in a Twitter thread on Monday night.
