A friend starts Teach First in Essex.A third of 14 year olds in his class can't read. Head's strategy? 'Just ask them the easy questions.'

@JuliaHB1 Goes on in many state schools. A Head told me a third of his pupils arrive from primary school illiterate. He does not help them. -
@HarrietSergeant I know. A good friend is a deputy head of an inner city comp. His job is more social worker/police officer than teacher

@JuliaHB1@HarrietSergeant No 14-year-olds who can't read should be in the same classes as those who can - or both groups will be hampered. -

@JuliaHB1 That is common sense - in short supply sadly in state education. Head told me they don't give kids literacy lessons!
