The debate
Two guests. Opposing views.
DL
Dr Lena Mockton Agrees
Adolescent psychologist “A ban treats a symptom. The thing we actually want — pupils who can govern their own attention — a locked drawer can't teach.”
MD
Mark Dummett Disagrees
Secondary headteacher “Give me the quiet first. You can't teach attention in a room that's already lost it. The ban is what makes the lesson possible.”
Episode notes
The first illustrative episode in the series. Two people who broadly want the same outcome and disagree completely on how to get there — which is exactly the format. Statement drops at 13:15.
