Education overloaded
□ The State school system is over-loaded and un-der-funded. Education Review Offices (ERO) have too many functions and too few personnel to see that the needs of all children are being met. Peer teaching - children helping children - is fine but it seems to me that it could be holding some back from Teaching their full potential. Are social aims being given precedence over academic needs? That I think is a decision for parents and pupils as well as teachers. Are all children achieving all that is possible for them? 'If you give me a fish, I' 11 eat for a day. If you teach me to fish, I'll eat for a lifetime' .
