I dont think its the type of school that creates the pupil, its the teacher. Too many teachers are just wanting to rush through everything to keep to deadline and pass exams rather than teach anything.
Even one of my lecturers at uni doesnt ever want to discuss any of the set questions in detail til we understand, as she ' has a class straight after this one', which is appalling when your consider the fee's you pay to actually be there!

Got to agree, I quoted in another post that the teachers need 'teaching' more thoroughly, as there are some very poor ones about. On of my grandsons teachers at what I call a 'bum' school, said to me "he need's more attention", my answer to her was, "give him some then". I now give him a few hours a week extra schooling, as he now stays with us at weekend.
These so called 6 month 'crashers' are not fit to teach primary education, in my view the most important time in any childs learning curve.
