Formulaic teaching was our intended foe

https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/formulaic-teaching-was-our-intended-foe-0

My last school was obsessed with the numbers, and hours and hours were spent drawing up lists of students who are just about a D who could get a C. I was in a geography lesson on support and a child asked: “What is the capital of Brazil?” He was told by the teacher: “You don’t need that for the test!” It’s a sham.
