It criticises aspects of the new National Curriculum orders for English ... It ends with proposals for an alternative curriculum for grammar teaching, properly rigorous but also realistic, which lightens the burden of grammar teaching for teachers and pupils in primary schools, while making greater demands on teachers and students in secondary schools."--Back cover.
