Is this a teacher’s attitude to academic achievement?

The TES has an article today headed:  “Maths – Put the brakes on”, which is all about a teacher trying to get an A level maths student not to try too hard or do too well.   Nobody really seems to know whether it is a spoof or true, but I suspect many of us have come across a teacher who thinks like this at some time or another.

Anyway, it’s worth reading the TES article here,

a piece about it by Toby Young in today’s Telegraph here,

and a blog by a freelance journalist who supports the views in the TES article here.
