Oh good grief...

Let's just put these two items together: a tweet from Peter Knight and an article from the Telegraph on the new GCSE exams...

3 hour exams - that we didn't have for 'O' levels anyway ?

Rote learning as rigour ?

This is another reminder of the importance of contributing to any consultation on any level of education, whether you currently teach  that Key Stage / Specification / Qualification or not....

P.S: I'm happy to receive large sums of money to write the textbooks... ;)

Have you seen the digital textbooks that Richard Allaway and I are producing ?

UPDATE

You can now add your thoughts to the DfE consultation here before the 10th of December 2012
