The good news is that most kids can now do better maths than me and Elaine, in Ireland at least. podcast-host

A major international study podcast-host

PISA, which is the Programme for International Student Assessment, released their latest results, which found that Irish students are first in the whole EU for reading skills, third for science and fourth for mathematics out of 27 EU countries. podcast-host

So they know intimately how social media platforms work, what they're capable of. podcast-host
