Latest i news article - are we killing our students with kindness and making them unprepared for the workplace? eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...
I'm a lecturer - mollycoddling universities are setting young people up to fail

I’m a lecturer – this is why the UK needs foreign students - the reality of teaching overseas students!

When Social Support Can Do Harm
Not all social support is positive. Some people can mean well but still kill with kindness. Others don't even mean well.
