The Deputy is not the only Member of the House who regularly visits schools in his constituency. I remind him that the whiteboard is not the answer to everyone's problems in the classroom setting. Those who are a little older sometimes believe that whiteboards are the answer to all the technological and educational needs of teachers and pupils. It is only of use to the extent that teachers are familiar with it and trained in how to use it appropriately in the classroom. I do not accept the argument implicit in what the Deputy inferred from his question.
