    Brian - there is a lot to be said about that.

    I am not talking about fashion, but about what should be taught and how.

    Jan, you make a good point but the problem is that the educational establishment is wedded to left wing ideals and has been for a long time. One of Mrs T's failures was not to wrest education away from them. It has been subject to too many experiments in trendy teaching. The idea that you should not correct spelling and grammar for instance, teaching in all ability groups, getting rid of grammars, anti-competition in the classroom and outside, not enough discipline including getting rid of the cane - these are all to blame for the demise of education.

    Gove is not tackling all that but he is making a start on some of it and so he should.
