What They Should Be Learning and How They Should Be Taught.

Marshall, Bethan

English in Education, v32 n1 p4-9 Spr 1998

Examines the conflict between progressive educational ideas and the prescriptive patterns of learning now fashionable in Great Britain. Discusses the teacher training document "Initial Teacher Training National Curriculum for Primary English"--its reduction of complex ideas about the English curriculum to the lowest common denominator is deplored as a recipe for raising standards.
