Don't Trust the so-called 'experts'!!

As an English teacher of 30 years-I don't claim to be an expert on anything. I do know that we teach 'A Christmas Carol' at GCSE and have done so for the past 6 years. The exam boards, full of 'experts' are to blame for unbalanced and unpalatable syllabi. The present AQA has masses of poetry and little examined prose. Dickens is still revered in schools and still read with passion. English teachers certainly know his worth even if exam boards don't.
