EP is an Educational Psychologist - this will paid for by our local authority.
the book is written by an ex-teacher who basically argues that schooling is about control, and children are not taught in any meaningful sense. In our experience this has prioved to be the case where teachers, or rather the school, have taken 4 years to initially tell us our boy was idle and lazy, only now ro be told he is probably a gifted under-achiever. To the headmasters shame he said there was a asimilar child now in grade 6 in a similar position.
Check out the book tho' - very interesting. I'm sure the local library will have it
