This was a really very good 1,000 word elaboration of . . . common sense. It's a shame it even needs to be written (and 25 years ago I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been necessary).

One point that stood out for me was your wonder whether any of the people behind these guidelines have ever met a five-year-old. Frankly, it has been apparent to me for a long time that most people high in the political realms of the education industry have not only never met any children, but don't even remember being children.
