To "teach" children of age range 11–14 is tedious predominance of behaviour management: nothing more than "baby-sitting" so that there is a net contribution of economic activity (i.e. revenue) to the government. Too many schools develop curricula that is so boring, so unimaginative, that children are now subjected to a five year gcse "qualification" (in quotes, because: " for what exactly are they qualified for?").
Only at gce a(s) level can a teacher's passion for their subject specialism(s) be really taught... For now citc has to play the patience game for an increase in time to teach the latter.
