The Welsh Assembly Government, in collaboration with other relevant bodies, has identified a national purpose for schools. A list of requirements is set out in the School Effectiveness Framework noting, in the first instance, that schools should:
Enable all children and young people to develop their full potential by acquiring skills, knowledge, understanding and attitudes, including personal, social and emotional skills, to enable them to become economically, socially and personally active citizens and lifelong learners.
What important links can be drawn between this statement and broader perspectives on education? And, drawing on personal experiences, what impact is possible at classroom level?

I taught Little Johnny that killing people was wrong, and so far he hasn't killed anybody.

I think they were there for display more than anything else.
And of course they couldn't have had the kids doing anything they might find interesting or enjoyable and be a valuable learning experience at the same time, oh no.

19-24 year olds who've been sent by the job centre or they lose their benefits.
They're the BEST kind of students.
