Memorandum submitted by David Wright
My two eldest children are now 18 and 20 years
old and are at university. During their time at our local secondary
school, from ages 11 to 16, they said their biggest problem was
the behaviour of other children in class. They stated that the
teachers spent all their time dealing with the children who did
not want to be there rather than working with those who did want
to be there. Because of this the amount they learnt in lessons
was limited. They both left school as converts to the old grammar
school system where different children were taught in different
ways.
