Regarding Ms Doherty's comments about how children are being asked to go to the front of the room, any of us with children would know how difficult and isolating that is for a child. All children have different personalities. Some like to advocate for themselves while others should not be put in that position. That is why we are here discussing policy and it also shows the importance of the NCBI.
