I DID IT FOR THE MONEY

Abstract

If ever you need to define the precise difference between primary and secondary school aims in Britain and put your explanation in a nut‐shell, this will do as well as anything. Disarming, slightly disdainful, more than a little prompted by the defence mechanisms of teachers without degrees, it runs like this: ‘In the secondary school they teach subjects: in the primary school we teach children’.
