Yeah, but recently I've been hearing so much rubbish about education that when something sensible gets reported it seems noteworthy.

For instance the BBC report on that poll suggestd statistics show that behaviour might not be bad in state schools!

  • What Others Say About Old Andrew

    "Old Andrew is a British secondary school teacher with very strong views and opinions which are always carefully expressed and strongly argued. A very good read (I'm always disappointed when he doesn't post daily, which must be a good sign.)"

    - Sarah Ebner, Times online, in The 7 Best Teacher Blogs

    "Old Andrew is a tired and frustrated state school teacher - also worth visiting if you need cheering up."

    - The Coppersblog Team, The Policeman's Blog, in Spring Cleaning

    "Honest, frank, strongly opinionated, Scenes from the Battleground is admirably well researched, topical and rightly inspiring a large following. Ok, so it's already well-known but before you cast me down below, it was one of the best I came across and I couldn't help sharing it with you! Complete with an interactive discussion forum this blog is an invaluable resource for teachers, and I recommend it to you as a great read ... To conclude, this is an eye-opener. A real insight into what goes on within the school gates. More of us need to be aware of what is actually happening in our country's schools these days!"
