Sunday Times 'School Gate' ~ November 10, 2009

Teacher Cathy Beck 'often finds it hard to deal with the vitriol regularly given to those in her profession'.
Some of the suggestions & criticisms she hears include:

Quote:
'Many people want the return of grammar schools. .... '
'Teachers can’t spell and punctuate. Our children deserve the best. .... '
'Discipline in schools is poor. .... '
'Corporal punishment should be brought back. .... '
'Make children sit in rows. .... '
'Private and faith schools get better results and have better discipline. .... '

'Is the solution more pay for teachers?
'More grammar schools?
'Corporal punishment?
'What do you think?'



Though this refers to the English systyem, I'm sure that thes same problems can occur in many countries, so, what do you think?
