Five more reasons for an urgent paradigm shift in education

The TES this week provides five more reasons why the United Kingdom education system needs urgent reform:

1. 'Lesson observations can ruin teachers’ careers'
2. Teaching is among the 'top three most stressed occupations'
3. ‘I hear of teachers crying on their kitchen floor because of the stress’
4. Half of teachers have considered quitting in the past six months, poll finds
5. How art in schools is being painted into a corner

Now here is a thought ........  if a third of school syllabuses were delivered in MOOC-style so that children can work from home 2 days per week, then what is to stop them going on a school term holiday and completing work while everyone else is on holiday during term-breaks?  Time to think outside of the box?
