There are only so many hours in the day, so what gives, when your child approaches with a request for help with homework?
A documentary shown on BBC2, on 23rd January 2007 “The Madness of Modern Families” revealed the extraordinary lengths parents will go to maximise their child’s performance at school.

In response to the article “The 10 greatest inefficiencies in UK Education”. It is gratifying to note that others are seeing the same flaws. Perhaps the most significant outcome is the retention of learning. The consequences of the inefficiencies result in a need to make best use of the remaining time available. This has led […]

The conventional emphasis on teaching and coaching skills now being replaced by the need to manage a complex business with a significant budget. The financial management, human relations and the constant flow of adjustments to curriculum and teaching practices take their toll.
Currently there are shortage of […]
We would like to apologise to all our many customers and visitors who tried to use keen2learn on the 20th January 2007.

One of the issues of the National Curriculum could be its intransigence. Whilst it lays down what should be taught in schools, equally, it infers what should not. Teachers obviously develop an increasing knowledge base during their career, and express frustration at the lack of opportunity to impart this wider knowledge as a progression to […]
