We were amused to read a ten year old's school report from 1932. 'He has had a very satisfactory year' said his headmaster. Position in class: first in all but one subject.
We wonder how this definition of 'satisfactory' fits with Ofsted's which re-defines it as 'needs improvement'?
So much for Gove's attempt to 'go back to traditional teaching'. 1932 seems quite traditional (a.k.a. 'old fashioned').
