Regardless of what command I try (<a href="http://laravel.com/docs/artisan/commands)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://laravel.com/docs/artisan/commands)">http://laravel.com/docs/art...</a> it's returning an error:</p><p>[InvalidArgumentException]<br>Command "command-name-here" is not defined.</p><p> Any ideas?</p>roger_1Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:12:07 -0000http://www.jonjolly.com/2009/10/01/the-future-of-statutory-youth-work/#comment-19268737<p>Jon, I literally just wrote over a thousand word rant in response to this before realising how long it was so here are some bullet points instead:</p><p>. I believe youth work is in transit towards state adoption in the same way teaching and social work were previously.</p><p>. Unlike many I believe professionalisation is a good thing—I wouldn't trust a someone to do surgery on me simply because they had my best interests at heart and had previously put a plaster on someone. However, I would trust a trained doctor who didn't really care for me. (It would, obviously be nice to have both.)</p><p>. I agree that if youth work is to be reduced, professionalised &amp; specialised under the state then this will leave a large gap which will probably be filled by the voluntary sector (which I'm happy with as I work in it!).</p><p>. However, I see this voluntary sector being filled with 2 politically motivated groups: those tied to monetary factors as their funding is linked to outcomes (and they will probably still require professionally trained employees) or the groups who are self funded who will have their own political agenda and set their own employment standards.</p><p>I'm not sure what this will mean for the counter-culture nature of youth work (questioning norms, standing up for children's rights, etc) but the fact is that youth work is evolving and we can't look back—it's changed already. As you pointed out in a recent post youth work is now equated to "fixing" young people, perhaps a new entity needs to grow up in the place that youth work filled before it became defined?</p>roger_1Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:57:45 -0000
