Presented by Jane Garvey. The tyranny of children's parties; music from The Webb Sisters; how should children be disciplined at school?; and IQAN, the system helping older people.
Presented by Jane Garvey. The tyranny of children's parties: have they become too elaborate? Singers Charlie and Hattie Webb will be performing live in the studio and chatting to Jane about their musical journey from Kent to LA. When they toured with Leonard Cohen he always introduced them as 'the sublime Webb Sisters'. Hear about the IQAN system helping older people and we look at how children should be disciplined in school. At the recent NASUWT conference a secondary teacher, Shane Johnschwager, called for the greater use of sanctions such as Saturday morning detentions and isolation units to punish indiscipline in school. We talk to him and Joan McVittie from The Association of School and College Leaders.
