It's a pity though. I think the "old" methods of teaching were far better for the children than the modern ones. Good old grammar and alphabet, learning exactly what is what in a sentence, learning a paragraph by heart and trying to write it down without spelling mistakes...All this encourages the development of memory and attention to detail, which are invaluable in life, even long after school days!

Sadly I have to agree with you. If schools don't "make the grade" these days, they can be closed down. We were told that my youngest was coming along brilliantly in history. It was all rubbish. the poor little chap can't retain what he's learnt, and his work was mostly done by a TA!!!!

My eldest had to change his primary school when we moved house but I still kept in touch/& favoured the head mistress of his first school, she had won awards for turning around the school! She left not long after but when I spoke to her, not as a parent anymore, she told me that things have changed so much, that its about 'grades' now & they focused on the 'bright' children to make them grades that she'd lost faith in it all :(

I find this so sad this woman had won an award 8 years running for changes she had made, but then decided to give up! :(
