    I resently left michaela community school because of their 'strict' rules. I got a detention for my homework for not including the spelling or vocab which was not needed. So I spoke to the head of English and told him and he said it was all my fault and that my fellow pupils are doing the right thing by taking their detention and learning from it. What exactly are you learning from something that wasn't told to you in the first place. In the end, he brought me to a private room and shouted at the top of his voice and threatened to tell my future universities that I apply for to tell them not to accept me and that I have no self control. Who has more self control? The teacher that gets frustrated and bring you to a private room to shout at the top of his voice and threaten you or the pupil who is standing up to a unfair punishment?

Producing not only the work set, but more again is all built into the system. What do you want, another bog standard school that makes excuses for everything and everybody who cries wolf when they are challenged, or a school full of people who can recite poetry, walk silently in the corridors, add, subtract, multiply and divide in Maths, and correct the Mayor of London when he gives an inaccurate historical date.

    This should be on the national curriculum, not for students education, but for teacher education. The closed system which hates competition and fears being shown it is not working, is called education and is forced on every child and taught by closed, fearful and indoctrinated minds, from the top down to the bottom. The kids are told what grades suit the school and not what the child needs. They are demorlised and held back from achieving because of the schools fear of failure. The exams limit the students, and the school lies to convince everyone it is for the best, it's not! Education is not geared for the students it is geared for the school or college and its leaders..At parents evenings they tell you have everything is perfect and then your child fails their GCSE. They openly lie to guard their backs, but anybody, any parent who really delves into this will see the truth/ Please delve, ask the questions that are difficult to answer, ask the status of your child within the class. Next time the Head says "Children a C grade is Ok" Realise they don't care about the kids, only the league tables and they won't take any risks of upgrading expectations because it is not in the schools interest.

  • @TheUserUndefined

    Well of course students now will find a past paper over a decade old more difficult. The specification was different in those times. If my friends and I had a short crash course on the sub-topics taught 50 years ago, I reckon all of us would pass that test with ease. But not now, obviously. If we did it now, we'd only do the questions we've been taught how to do and leave out the other ones (but still attempt them). This isn't because we've been taught a 'dumbed down' spec, but simply a different one. You can't just describe an entire spec as 'dumbed down'. That's not fair. If you really want to compare the specs of two different time periods, do it properly.

Please sign and share with friends, we'd love your support and your opinions on the matter- even if you don't agree with what we're saying, as part of our campaign we want to tackle every side to this argument.

    The way she claims that our education system has been "dumbed" down over the years is extremely derogatory and demoralizing to students like myself who work hard on a daily basis to achieve success. She preaches of lack of motivation and flawed system. Granted our education isn't right, however you also have to look at our current climate and realize that schools aren't necessarily working due to there being nothing to strive toward-no drive for our student as the future isn't as certain...

Where is the comma after the words 'lost' and 'fine' as you should have done? It is precisely children's lack of grammatical discipline that has created a nation of illiterates.
