"At last a logical and sensible project by the most qualified person, a young person actually in the system who can see and feel that the present system isn’t working. Yes we need education, but the educator and educatees don’t need the pressure of unnecessary testing. Trust and allow the teachers to teach and pupil's to learn in a less stressful environment. Creativity and actual practical everyday life skills shouldn’t be feared. We should be preparing ALL young people for their future life not isolating or belittling and squashing them into an academic box only valued or judged by pressurised exams. And shaming by a brainwashed system of value is only achieved by a “high” mark. But who says what the “high” mark is and how is that viewed? I feel unfortunately by a system and society that is too judgmental as opposed to nurturing and one the fosters difference and change. Thank you Ellis Brown, for bringing some logic and sense to our awareness."
