They have just gone into school in the past year and a half but, as you can see, I am passionate about it.
There were excellent points raised there. I like the phrase "ecology of learning."
The other point, which was brought up at the Joint Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, was the responsibility of the media when it comes to leaving certificate around the mental health of young people and maybe to have a moratorium on discussion of a topic for a period before the exams so as not to exacerbate that mental health problem. Is there something in the media around responsibility, around norms as well, and gender norms and health, because that is where many parents get their information?
