I have read the document. More importantly, I’ve seen the fruits of your implementation. The entire curriculum for Class 5 is choc-a-bloc full of activities - disjointed, uncoordinated elements, lacking basic tools like Comprehension, Reading and Essay-Writing. As a result, students graduating out of grade 5 to 6 cannot construct simple sentences, are hopeless with spellings (incidentally, do YOU think spellings are important? Why?), have completely done away with punctuation, and are unable to utilise their skills to help them in any other subject - something you should be mindful of, since language provides their comprehension capability in all areas of life. In class 5, I was reading Lewis Carroll, Daniel Defoe and Tolkien. What are your kids reading?

This has less to do with teacher capability and more to do with the poor quality of your curriculum and a pathetic attempt to implement it. I ask a question on my blog. Answer it. Why are your teachers reverting to pre-curriculum methods of teaching English if your curriculum is soooo good? As a parent, under these conditions, Beaconhouse would be the last school on earth to which I would send my children.
