The new E Bacalaureate thing, 2015, there is no provision for any of those subjects in secondary schools! This government only want to educate one side of your child's brain. We are not all mathematicians or English stars, my children thrive on drama and music whilst studying the maths and English. A balance is needed, Finland has best education in Europe who embrace the 'education for all' not bringing back the Grammar school regime, which actually gave me the opportunity to take any subject. GCSE now is Higher or Foundation, ring any bells, 'O' level and CSE, .
Something needs to be done to stop this looney government ruining our children's education, they only get one crack at it. Where will all those teachers go, thousands of excellent and skilled staff on the scrap heap, or will we get a secondary modern school to put all the cannon fodder in
Personally, I was rubbish at school, but now have 3 degrees, so what can we do about it?
