There was a programme on 5 live about education and failing schools in general.
I felt so sorry for one school governor, who suggested a small part of his school's problem was the exposed location, and the old design of the buildings that meant children had to queue up outside classrooms on windy days.

The amount of scoffage he came in for!
Some teachers & ex-teachers mailed and texted in support, but the public were all, "Bring back the cane! How pathetic! Children can't behave because of the wind?! They would behave if we employed ex-Army staff to thrash the badness out of them."

But as you say, it does make a difference!
I flew a kite with Tiger today in our one-to-one. He said some lovely full sentences about Autumn, including "The leaves are dancing!" and "Autumn is good for kites."
