      Good question! I am friends with lots of school teachers and we often talk about how science is taught.

      One thing that concerns me is proposals to stop marks for practical work in science classes counting towards final grades for A-levels. Science is a practical subject and developing the skills to carry out experiments is very important. It would be a shame if emphasis was taken away from this in classrooms.
