Learning to Teach Report: Statements.

John Minihan (Progressive Democrats)
——and I was a student. I taught in my other profession. Legitimate concerns were raised in some of what I heard this evening. However, in all walks of life assessment which allows one to build on one's strengths and work on one's weaknesses must be welcomed. We can talk about semantics, we can change methodology and we can reduce from 76% to 72% and up 34% but we will not get away from the core point which is that we have strengths and weaknesses. Weaknesses were in the design and if the methodology has to be changed in compiling the next report let us change it.
