Education in England has really gone crazy. All this obsession with grading and assessing is a sign of a bankrupt and totally un-communal society. The idea of learning should be one of delectation, both of the experience of language and of the artistic insights of literature. And a teacher should be a sage,a person of wisdom with status in society.He/She should be consulted by the Department of Education (or whatever its latest name is)not the other way round.If managers with no insight into learning dictate how learning should happen, or rather not happen, no-one will truly learn and become cultivated, which ought to be the aim.
