That maths homework I copied from you, 'cos I never knew.

- Muse, Sing for Absolution (yeah, I changed it quite a bit this time, but hey.)

Okay. Education.

Primary Education.

I love the fact that Tony B (who'll be leaving 10 Downing Street soon) and all that politics jazz are promoting the 'education' bizz. But what has really been done about it?

I know, when I had my year 6 SATs booster sessions, because the mixed ability group was just that (I mean, vast differences) I never really learnt that more than I already knew.

And when I get to Secondary, I get asked if I know of something in Science.
'Miss never taught us science, sir. She didn't know 'out about it, sir.'

It's quite unnerving.

And yet, are there improvements? Somewhere along the system, is it really working? Are those special needs kiddies getting all the help they should? Or can schools just not provide it anymore?

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

(Ah-ahhhh!)

School councillors. Yeah. World from a la'l person's pointa-view. Through a child's eyes; their experiences can be very powerful, and more interactive than any adult's ever could be.

So maybe, maybe it might just work.

Maybe.

I encourage your smiles, I expect you all try!

Good luck to all who shall be enduring their SATs/GSCEs or some other random exam of torture.

No pressure, 'ey?

And I hope you all pass them with flying colours (oooh, pwetty...) and then are free and happy and stuff.

And then can go back to the Bliss of freedom. Or get those 'ickle Bitesize Revision square-headed pirahnas to eat it for you O_o
