2/4 Value of Now Teach aside, this is not what should determine the qualifying of some of our most NB professionals, and how public funding for public professionals is spent. Same issues in social work for sure.
3/4 The founder agrees on the importance of networks: "I marvelled at what a difference a few contacts seemed to be making — without the people Katie and I knew between us, I doubt if we would have managed to get our idea off the ground".
4/4 "Soon after the launch, we were summoned to see Nick Gibb, the Minister of State for School Standards. ‘Find these people some money,’ he instructed his minions. They nodded, though I fancy their teeth were gritted." 🙄🙄🙄
