what are children learning?
Quote:
Some parents have more recently realised that the traditional academic model may have its flaws in our modern society, and that the pursuit of academic success is not the be all and end all. They are now opting to send their children to schools that offer more rounded education, including social skills, with less focus placed on achieving high examination grades and top ratings in the schools league tables.
These schools seek to develop a more challenging and inspirational education, with the adolescent student's self-esteem as a priority.
