Children being failed by progressive teaching, say Tories:
Maybe it's because it's the Guardian, but this opening paragraph sounds absurd IMHO. Make all-round humans or regurgitating robots?
"Generations of children have been let down by so-called progressive education policies which have taught skills and "empathy" instead of bodies of knowledge, the shadow education secretary, Michael Gove, said yesterday."

Grove went on, "if you come from a poorer household where you don't have your own bedroom, where the only printed material is the Daily Star, then school is the only place you learn, and progressive methods let you down."Sounds like a snob. I wonder if Michael Grove was Eton educated? A quick look around Google draws a blank. Though, I have a feeling that he was privately educated.
Schools minister Jim Knight claimed the Tories were "out of touch" with reality. "This artificial distinction between trendy teaching and learning dates, events and places bears no relation to what actually happens in today's classrooms," he said.
