Plowden 1967 ‘At the heart of the educational process lies the child’ ‘Until a child is ready to take a particular step forward it is a waste of time to try to teach him to take it’ ‘One of the main educational tasks of the primary school is to build on and strengthen children's intrinsic interest in learning and lead them to learn for themselves’
- 9. Rose 2009 Primary children relish learning independently and co-operatively; they love to be challenged and engaged in practical activities; they delight in the wealth of opportunities for understanding more about the world; and they readily empathise with others The touchstone of an excellent curriculum is that it instils in children a love of learning for its own sake.

- 15. Behaviourism Practice should take the form of question - answer frames which expose the student to the subject in gradual steps Require that the learner make a response for every frame and receive immediate feedback Try to arrange the difficulty of the questions so the response is always correct and hence a positive reinforcement Ensure that good performance in the lesson is paired with secondary reinforcers such as verbal praise, prizes and good grades.

- 37. I've watched this with interest. At the risk of over simplifying, consider an event x with probability of 1 in 1 million. How should: A parent with responsibility for 2 children A teacher with responsibility for 30 children A school with responsibility for 800 children An LA with responsibility for 10 000 children A secretary of state with responsibility for 6 000 000 children respond? Risks that are manageable at the every day level for individuals become unmanageable when aggregated to system level. That's the issue that needs to be resolved before we can have a rational debate about this. Only by actively embracing the risk at a local level can we shift the debate away from over prescription in order to manage the risk at a regional/national level. Sorry if this does not help the flow, but it's always worth spending a little time working out why something that is nonsensical form one perspective is rational from another. Excuse thumb typing.
