| Gareth said "I think what people are generally looking for is a school system in which the aim is not to mould children into what the Government or the Local Education Authority thinks they should be but where schools reflect the values of parents and which achievement, discipline and standards are ranked above political correctness and shallow 'inclusiveness'. " I do so agree. In my experience, my parents put a huge percentage of effort into my education, and this was necessary as teaching currently follows a set technical formula to achieve exam results, even in independent schools. I think more and more parents need to take on the role of home teacher in order that their children achieve a good educational level. Any school can get extremely good results if committed parents put the effort in. I know this shouldn't be the case, but it's your child and it can't be left to the Government and the LEA. Who wants their children to be guinea pigs while the government of the day experiment? |
