Nursery World - Let's keep on learning for its own sake

I am a first-year BA Early Childhood Studies student and I am writing to say that I fully support the comments made by Emma Thorley in her letter ('Let's get all the knowledge we possibly can', 26 April). When I read the earlier letter about degree students (8 February) I wanted to reply but could not find the right words to say. But I believe Emma has now said exactly what needed to be said.
