So hear the mccraate principal of doio.
00:00:01
Critics would say it looks like it's a
00:00:03
posh rich white school.
00:00:04
>> Yeah. Yeah. We should be very proud as a
00:00:07
country of the young people we are
00:00:09
seeing come out of our education system
00:00:11
and I mean right across the board by and
00:00:14
large they are astounding young people.
00:00:17
They are fantastic. They are engaged.
00:00:20
They take on a lot. They love um
00:00:22
participating. Uh they have a voice.
00:00:24
It's really important to take digital
00:00:27
devices off students at night and to
00:00:29
make sure that that's managed in
00:00:31
families. There are also dangers in
00:00:33
social media that we're aware of that
00:00:35
can influence young minds and you saw an
00:00:38
example of that in the states where
00:00:40
people get radicalized online. That
00:00:42
worries me enormously. So it is a more
00:00:45
complex world and I think it's because
00:00:48
you know the fringes now and the radical
00:00:50
areas of fringes now have much more
00:00:52
voice than they perhaps had in past
00:00:54
years.
00:00:54
>> What's the biggest misconception people
00:00:56
have about teenage girls today?
