  The Gove fellow is about as straight as a cork-screw. As I recall you get marked down if you do not show your 'working-out'. Him sticking the word 'yes' in where another would bluster has far more to do with sounding as if he knows that of which he speaks. Without the 'working-out' there is little more can be gleaned.
  Timetabling plays an important role in learning also. Classes before lunch and after and after gym/games, classes after boring ones and after poorly disciplined ones all suffer from what can be no fault of the class teacher. Parents, home life, peer-pressure and petty vendettas too can all work against learning.
  When all is said and done educating children is a most difficult task. It would be a miracle if the process was not over-simplified by testing and teaching to the test and by blaming all around when even tests (surprise, surprise) fail to yield the desired results.
  So...whoopee! Today the answer is to re-state that teaching is not a job for life.
  I wonder what is going on behind all the wind and piss. Small 'm' martial law?
