Sending pupils to a theme park on the pretence that it is to study Physics is a good example of how valuable time in education is wasted.

It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it.
The white buildings shone in the sunlight, contrasting with the pure blue of the sky.

It is time for schools to embrace technology fully.  The days of handwritten exams should be at an end.  Who, in the real world, uses a pen any more?
