So, structure and imagination was not dead then, plus the grammar. Still feel he is the youth of today at 26. Was not really destructive teaching Jambutty.

So the quiz was correct in that the 11+ did contain story writing because pupils wrote stories in Primary school.

Come on katex, you know that I didn’t state that destroying was taught in schools. I said something to the effect of, if they don’t allow kids to be creative by asking them to write stories then maybe they will turn to being destructive rather than constructive.

In any case I was posing a question not making a statement.
