I struggle to understand the way the level of education has declined so much in the few (ok, not so few) years since I left school. I can't help but feel that teachers would be better at their job were they actually just left to teach, rather than have to spend their time trying to impliment new techniques of teaching. Phonics. Not phonics. Blocking maths. Not blocking maths...come on, just let them teach a method that they feel comfortable with! PS, much as I liked your comment, I am in fact a he, not a she :) <strong>jb says</strong>: Hi Bowen. Great post, by the way. I've changed your gender in my original post but left it in doubt here, just for the record. Good for me, that, having such an obvious judgement-call called.
