Flyboy10 has to learn French, but he suffers from a language disorder, he gets speech and language therapy at school and tries his best at French, not because he has to, but because he finds it fascinating and it is a change from all the input he gets from English literacy. His reading age is six years and nine months and his spelling age is a bit lower, but this is nothing at all to do with the way the school manage their curriculum, or how much homework he gets.

Did I imply at any point that children AREN'T taught that violence is wrong.
It's already part of the secondary school ethos that this is the case..Anyone using violence against another will be severely punished usually by internal detention,suspension,exclusion and in the case of the persistent, permanent exclusion.
Can't see how that is not a clear indication to the entire school population that violence is not acceptable already.
