Investigative Journalism- practice

Younger education is important for any child to kick-start their academic life. So for this reason I have devised a question to observe if education for a younger age is the best it can be. Does the amount of paper work teachers have to do, hold them back from performing their best and being a good nursery school educator? “I had to do 13 pages of planning for three to four year olds plus I had to do other stuff like forms to fill in about there levels. There is a need for some paperwork, because you need to be organised and know what to do in the lessons that is fair for all the children, record keeping is the most important, but having to write everything in detail makes the lessons over planned! Also it is hard work and tiring!” Says Margaret Lewis a retired nursery school teacher at St Francis Roman Catholic Primary School (She worked as a teacher for 37 years). It seems to me that while keeping records of attainment and planning lessons is a necessity, however the obsessive amount of paperwork is a hindrance to class time and the level of teaching.
