Ideas at the HouseLucy Clark, Sausage Factory Schools: All About Women 2017Recorded at All About Women on March 5th, 2017. What’s wrong with our education system? How can we transform mass education into something that can work for everyone and delivers what we need in a world of rapid change? As journalist Lucy Clark battled to save her daughter from a school system that discouraged difference, she set out to discover the real meaning of success and failure and why we educate young people as we do.
