I1L2T3 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 A test was set up. 5 Chinese teachers in a British school, pitted against 5 British teachers, each team using their own methods for a term with similarly rated students, and variables as low as possible. Tested at the end of the project, the British taught students were way ahead. Only a Tv programme, (anyone see it?) but interesting, and not with the results some might expect. Not surprising at all. Because the British students aren't learning primarily by rote and memorising in preperation for written tests with narrow parameters. British kids don't have their problem solving skills and creativity coached out of them. Everything that Gove was doing was about rerversing that situation and now a new generation of kids is about to be on the receiving end of his experiment.

I1L2T3 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 An interesting development. Faced with a demographic crisis Brexit could offer a solution for the German economy: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-02/let-germany-offer-young-britons-citizenship-merkel-deputy-says If the older British generations are willing to piddle the future of the young up the wall they might find that the youg decide to leave.

I1L2T3 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 i thought only 36% of young people had voted in the referendum? Indeed. How many do you think would vote if there was a re-run? Doesn't matter anyway whatever they did. They are going to need options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 They lost a vote and they're spitting their dummies out? They want to remember the old people they're so contemptuous of were fighting and getting blown to bits in war at their age, for this country and freedom, against the very Germans that they now want to join. Well good luck to them. Frankly, if that's all such sacrifice means to them, then good riddance. Don't come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
