chris1990king My 5/6th year maths was me creating my own notes from a textbook. Teacher had no classroom management and used only very weak assessment/questioning. Majority of kids sat and did no work. So I took it upon myself, similar to your former pupil, to create my own notes and work independently. However this was localized to a single teacher, not sure how much of an impact the school ethos had. School actually had a very positive ethos and pupils were generally eager to learn, I think that a bad teacher can set up their own environment which is independent from the rest of the school. The skills I acquired did prove to be useful at University; however I would have preferred to have had a capable maths teacher and saved myself a lot of stress.

stuartphysics You raise a number of important questions. I think the move towards a Masters profession is admirable but it can only happen if the appropriate support structures are in place - and as you say probably the most significant is time. There are some who seem to want to import aspects of the Finnish system - BGE, Masters profession for example but cherry picking some parts without other won't make them work.
