Okay, Sue, thank you very much indeed, Dr. Dunn.

Here's a question from Kate Paradine, again, someone who I happen to know of a little bit, though I've never met Kate, because she is the boss of a remarkable charity called Voice 21, which works on something which I have taken a public position on.
voice-verified
which is the importance of oracy and particularly why how you speak and speaking clearly and confidently and fluently is something that can benefit kids from poorer backgrounds.
voice-verified
So Kate's question, as the boss of Voice 21, a brilliant charity, is about teaching.
voice-verified
Sophie Pender, Oracy, should it be taught?
voice-verified
2028.
voice-verified
That's partly, I think I should say, just in spirit of full honesty, that's partly because of the campaigning by people like Kate Paradine.

Why teach RSC to kids from poorer backgrounds?
voice-verified
Because you hadn't been doing that around the dining table with your parents.
voice-verified
Very big class sizes.
voice-verified
That's different.
voice-verified
That's etiquette.
voice-verified
It is different.
voice-verified
Etiquette is a form of social enforcement.
voice-verified
You don't get etiquette from poor people.
voice-verified
You get habits that poor people have.
voice-verified
Etiquette is kind of what rich people expect in certain situations.
voice-verified
Or I see something slightly different, which is fluency in communication, which is just obviously necessary wherever you go, whether you're going to go work for a law firm or you're going to work...
voice-verified
on the radio or you're going to, you know, or in a dressing room because you're a footballer and you want England to win the World Cup.
voice-verified
If it were going to be taught, something else is going to be cut, right?
