Well said
I went to an all boys grammar and was buggered senseless ...did me the power of good..... Ok before any complaints are lodged thats a line from 4 weddings and a funeral.
One gets out of school exactly what one puts in.It prepares one for a later working life of discipline.ie "Got up got out of bed dragged a comb across my head"....oops sorry a Beatles line from a song..
The surprise arrival of my 9 yr old daughter(9 years ago not just recently..if you know what I mean..erm)means that I have been able to witness modern day teaching habits and practices and I think they are great.
The school has its own website and she has her own web page.Homework assistance can be gleaned from the net and if she gets in any difficulty she can email the teacher for advice.She loves school and works hard because its interesting exciting and informative and so much different than from when I was at school.
Ink monitors are from the Victorian age arent they Daddy......
'Chalk'..Oh how exciting that must have been Daddy was that afore you went to work in't mill at 14 wi'clogs on...she mutters
The schools of today are far superior than in my day and we should thank all those that work hard within the education system and thank the Govt for pouring money into education where other parties hope to make 'unseen' cuts.
