Among Ds's holiday homework are some poems to learn by heart. I think this is fantastic, but i appear to be alone among my friends in this view. I think that learning by heart is a useful skill, and anyway, as GCSEs are all going to be closed book exams from now on, they need to get into the habit of knowing quotations. Everyone else seems to thing it's a waste of time. Am I ridiculously outdated, or do I have a point?
