I can't believe that this is true. How in this day and age could it come to this? What on earth is going on? I can understand that some children might have problems, where English isn't their first language, but not one in five children for goodness sake. These children are being badly let down and we should all hang our heads in shame. I had what I would call a solid education. My school produced lots of 'worthies' (it's a pity that you aren't one of them - Ed) and, as I only know one system, I have often wondered over the years about the amount of tinkering that goes on with education. I'm no expert and I had secretly hoped that the tinkering was for the better. It looks like some things are fundamentally wrong.
About Me
- Alex
- Jan and I moved from England to France in July 2002 and then, in February 2011, after nearly 9 great years in France we have moved to North Yorkshire, England, to be nearer to my ageing mother. The move to France was primarily motivated by the opportunity to, 'have an adventure', after our children had flown the nest. Well now the adventure continues. After six years back in England our delightful Beauceron Max has died and leaves a confused Minnie who has only ever known her beloved companion . She is a Beauceron, a large but very congenial, French breed of sheep dog. By a total coincidence my mother told Jan that North Yorkshire, Ripon, is where I was conceived. Frankly, a bit too much information but it just goes to show that what goes around comes around. This journal reflects the thoughts, likes, dislikes, fantasies and observations of our latest life in Yorkshire, for me, Jan, Minnie and my alter ego Ed.
