  12. We need a platform on which to flex our muscles How do we truly create an ethos which enables the transference of skills and knowledge to different situations, if we restrict the flexing of learning muscles and the application of skills? I don’t see the point of this I did really well today mum, I got 95% in History I didn’t do well because we had a supply teacher The teacher didn’t explain it properly We get to discuss our work with each other in Maths, but we don’t in English We only work in teams in PE

  13. The need for some discrete subject teaching Some subjects have difficult concepts that need to be addressed over a number of sessions This model will allow a move from : This To This O God, here they come. I can’t think of any other ways to make this interesting Well that was a dawdle. They took that in easily Teacher doing all the work The onus is on the students
