Yes my thoughts exactly. The problem doesn't stay in school though, the lecturing standards are slipping at uni also. I'm in my third and last year and I can safely say the lecturing is getting to the point I'd rather not turn up and just read in my own time. The difficulty now is finding well-educated people to pass the baton so to speak. We have some damn clever people at uni but that certainly doesn't mean they automatically have the ability to teach based on their brainpower.
I had some great teachers at school don't get me wrong, but I also had your typical "textbook" teachers who seem to think sitting at the front and marking books should be done in lesson time while you answer questions from the book
If things don't improve then any kids I have will get home tutoring, namely by me mam
