should pupils manage their own learning?
Dr Patrick Hazelwood is head of St John's comprehensive school in Marlborough in Wiltshire and he must have delighted his pupils this week. He announced he was scrapping homework and described it as a dinosaur which isn't relevant in a 21st century education system.
