Our very great friend and colleague, Andrew Houghton, who teaches at Kingdown School, Warminster, has a letter in today’s Independent newspaper, in reply to a letter about education by Anne Simon.
Andrew penned:
“I was very saddened by Anne Simon’s letter (Your views, Education+, June 4) but I have to admire her passion for teaching in the face of real difficulties.
I, too, have taught for 25 years – but under three head teachers who fought for higher standards, smaller classes, and better discipline.
Yes, teaching can be tough – but don’t overstate the case!
