Teachers ought to engage with pupils, not drill them
The Herald Scotland
November 2, 2012
SCOTLAND'S English teachers received their joint report card yesterday
from the SQA chief examiner and for some the bottom line was "Could do
better".
This seems unfair. After all, over the years the percentage of pupils
both passing Standard Grade and Higher English and passing them well
has risen. Most pupils work hard and their labour is rewarded. They
and their teachers are justified in feeling proud. However, there has
long been a sneaking suspicion that one of the reasons for this upward
trend has been that teachers have become increasingly adept at
"teaching to the test".
