Last night's telly

I would love to know what others thought of last night's "Can't Read Can't Write" programme. Did you get as agitated as I did?

I did!!!! I was shouting at the TV at one point!! I loved his enthusiasm but felt he was soooo condescending towards the curriculum (not that I’m a great fan anyway – and hadn’t that SfL co-ordinator been brainwashed???) but the fact he insisted on using children’s resources with the adults made me mad! AND he made the learners – who were obviously at entry level, sit a test – just to prove his point and of course some of them walked out!!! I suppose that makes for good TV but I thought he was being a sensationalist. There are diagnostic assessments available for learners at the level – OK not brilliant but better than the test he gave them.

I’m looking forward to next week’s episode when no doubt he’ll get up my nose again!!
