What's the point of school?
“Along with history and maths, teaching
character and resilience should be an
essential part of every school's ambition.”
“All too often the development of attributes
associated with character and resilience - that
is, the development of the pupil as a rounded
individual - are neglected or, at best, given
second billing.”
