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
