State Education
Yeah, OK a bit serious for the weekend but...
This series of videos are American, but still relevant to the situation in State Schools here in the UK (in my opinion).
If you cannot be bothered to watch the videos, I can summarise it for you. Despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars, education has not improved, because the increased spending has simply been absorbed by the system in higher salaries, instead of being used to improve the quality of teaching.
Because my children (and perhaps yours too) have passed the point of school based education you may think the appalling state of education in this country is not relevant to you. But, (again in my opinion) it is. It is costing us lots and lots of money to produce poorly educated people at school leaving age. A poorly educated population cannot compete in international markets, which is bad for all of us. It is simply not right that children should be condemed to an inferior education.
