Can anyone offer an explanation for these poor local showings ,maybe a local County Councillor , failing that a Hyndburn Councillor ... Know that a few Accy web parents have a children attending these schools, care to make a comment, are you happy with the education your child is getting. |
It disappoints me that one set of results shows that exams are too easy in schools and another shows that the country is breeding a bunch of underacheivers.
My school education was set by the teachers and I did exceptionally well, why not go back to that system instead?
