A sad story of two British Headteachers attempting to fix deep problems in their schools . The two headteachers see the same three factors at work, in their success and in their failure: the intake of children; the provision of resources; the freedom to be professional. The stars of the private sector have all three.
Ken's Key Take-aways: 1) Selective intake of students is crucial to ongoing success of the school 2) Charisma is important for getting students interested in a subject. It is not enough, but it is important.
Conversation Starter: The analysis is alarming: over a period of 30 years, beginning in the 60s, the quest for excellence was undermined by an obsession with equality Delete the scoop?
