No show of hands for quiet childrenGood lord.Teachers should not ask pupils to put their hands up if they can answer a question in class to stop quiet children falling behind, according to government advice.
Research identified a group of youngsters who struggle to keep up with their classmates between the ages of seven and 11, despite doing well in previous years.
You ever wonder what a policy of not rewarding the best and brightest might lead to?
Don't show you know an answer - don't show initiative. Don't show you're anything other than a normal drone, able to get out of bed and stagger through a day without being exceptional in any way. Don't try to excel, you'll just piss people off. Don't take pride in accomplishments - because it'll upset people who have none.
England's sun is setting fast.
