"should of" is a particular hatred of mine - along with various others that fall into the illiteracy basket. |

I was in a primary class where the teacher was trying to explain the tense difference between 'lead' and 'led', as in 'He will lead us to the hideout' and 'He led us to the hideout' |

I see so many people out with their children who are paying them no attention at all, often talking on a mobile phone while the child either sits in their buggy having no idea what he or she is looking at or tags along behind, there being completely ignored. |

I don't have good memories of my comprehensive education, looking back it was wasted time. There was so much bad behaviour in the classroom, pupils taking particular advantage of any teacher who was weak with no authority. It mattered not if homework were done. It has made me despair of the future for our grandchildren. |

'Praising children excessively can do more harm than good, especially to those with low self-esteem'. (Times 03.01.14). |

Plenty of praise but not so much that leads them to believe that they are better than others. |
