My review of Bad Education has just been published in SchoolsWeek. Here’s how the review begins:
“Thanks to your son, I managed to get a good grade at economics A-level, and then go on to gain a first in Business Studies at uni.”
Mike (not his real name) was now working as a paramedic, where he’d found his metier. He was speaking to my mother as we waited in the queue in hospital to buy a cup of tea.
It was a great source of pride to me, getting hundreds of students through their A levels and encouraging them to go to university. But for some time I have asked myself a question: would I recommend this route now?
I will be publishing the full article on this website in a few weeks’ time, but in the neantime you can read the rest here: Review of Bad Education.
