Hello all,
I think you have articulated the problem very well ' we would welcome =20=
guidance or even app targets'.
Are we so institutionalised that not only teachers but consultants =20
need guidance from someone else . We should all be well informed =20
critical practitioners not lemmings expecting someone else to solve =20
the problems our professional dignity should have already eliminated.
Sorry it's blunt . I weep for the futures of our children .
Pete
