That says a lot for the current teaching profession.
I disagree, it is a comment on their training, not their competence, you have to remember most teachers graduating now are products of the education system themselves - the change has been an over-reliance on 'measurement' of their subsequent 'performance' via SATS, OFSTED, etc

- in my opinion the 'personal' approach is what I got from my teacher when he/she didn't have to justify my sats level, or conform to a 'curriculum', but that shouldn't say 'specialists' aren't required, now???
