  Ha!! I remember being a little confused when one of my childrens primary schools stopped having competetive sports at sports day because it "wasn't good to fail". We parents ambled around a field wondering when the beer tent would open watching everyones kids throwing bean bags around and no-one winning anything. It was all a bit of a damp squib and no-one felt good about anything at all. Streaming, competition, a bit of guidance about standards (innit) - all good stuff!!!
  
  Jan - I can only agree - education should be appropriate. I maintain though that whatever one is being taught, the act of being educated in something creates a new way of thinking, an opportunity to think - and that should be free!!
