I do not have a question, but wish to clarify something that perhaps I did not explain well earlier. When I was talking about culture, I was thinking about the unfortunate fact that not every child has the same home life or culture of commitment to education, and some schools were certainly struggling in their ability to get their student cohort to make the most of what online presenting did offer. It was not always a case of not having the right equipment. That was my only point; I am not sure there is necessarily any disagreement about it.
