IN SCHOOL
HAVE heard now several of the semidocumentary programmes, Their Guided Years, which have been broadcast monthly for some time from 1YA. The main purpose of this series, I take it, is to give parents some idea of what is going on inside modern classrooms and why their children don’t leatn the things they did, and, incidentally, to justify Janetnjohn. Well scripted and well made, and _ judiciously using material recorded in the classroom, these sessions have made their points pretty well so far, although an avoidance of any hint of criticism of current pedagogical orthodoxies has made them less stimulating than they might have been. Last week’s programme on secondary schools, for instance, which featured some pleasant, articulate youngsters, gave a clear picture of the modern curriculum at high school, but by-passed any discussion of the value of the "core," and the effect of early secondary years on the academic pupil. Still, I applaud these sessions as a new and welcome departure, and hope that they will later be rebroadcast weekly in Femiriine Viewpoint and other women’s programmes, since monthly intervals tend to break continuity and dilute interest.
