Description
School is often seen as a place where children are prepared for the world beyond its walls, but in reality, it's often focused on exams and grades. This narrow approach can lead to a system that ranks pupils and schools, creating winners and losers. The author, a former teacher with twenty years of experience, argues that schools should be more than just a testing ground. Drawing on his own experiences and hundreds of interviews, Sammy Wright suggests a different approach to education, one that prioritises community and support over competition and grades.
