This is an endemic problem across all of the education system, in the UK as well.
There is a school in London that eschews modern teaching (no group work, etc. teacher is the authority). It gets great results but is a pariah as it subscribes to no modern education doctrine:

- kybernetyk 3y agoI think education should be treated like medicine: Do the conservative thing that has been proven to work. And if you've got some new brilliant idea on how to improve things run studies and trials before you unleash your "feelgood and humane approach" on defenseless children. Education feels like a test laboratory where every (sorry) idiot can bullshit people into doing insane things solely based on emotions and a handful (of probably useless) studies.
