thanks for finding that article jax, it’s started an interesting discussion on our local list 🙂
Hello Jax, returned the compliment and came to see you 🙂 I tried to post on dottyspots blog but it didn’t work, let’s hope this one does.
I read the article. So depressing. Getting rid of sand and watertables because they can’t manage to teach reading and maths in the allotted hours – heartbreaking.
Ah, it was just waiting for moderation on dotty’s, all is well 🙂
very interesting article, thanks Jax.
Thanks for that- I sent it to my mum! (She asked me how can I be sure they’re learning all the right things!)
