Hahahaha.
If Michael Gove manages to change things back to how they were in the good old days, then Monters will be the sort of teacher they will be looking for.

I do think some strong discipline is exactly what's needed
I was terrified of some of my teachers, at night mostly /film

Alien.
I agree with the discipline point but what I was getting at is that people are making a fuss about introducing spelling, grammar and fact learning into SCHOOLS.

It's retarded
Children shouldn't learn facts, dates, formulas etc by rote, but they need to learn them and then be taught to use them in actual situations.

Also a clip on the ear won't do them any harm

They should learn by rote.
It weeds out the tradespersons.
