Extract

In opening this afternoon’s discussion I wish to put before you some reasoned criticisms of a number of attitudes and arrangements embedded in the English Educational System; I want to talk generally—not submit a detailed blue-print of some brave new system. During my talk I will ask you a number of questions and I would be grateful if some of you would respond and indicate your views. Although I feel deeply on some of the points I shall raise, I put forward my arguments with diffidence, for I realise that opinions may, and frequently do, differ.
