Gimme Some Truth
I went onto the Internet and I found this (link to a story on the BBC News website). The giste basique, as the French would not and have never said, is that the head of Tesco reckons a lot of school leavers lack certain basic skills. The government and teachers' unions say that standards in education have never been higher.
To this I will say one thing, government and teachers' unions: standards are not the same as pass rates. *nod*

Yes. There were times in school (and I'm too far removed to accurately estimate how many times) when we were taught how to pass the exam, not how to understand and retain the information for the future.(Reply to this) (Thread) |
