Student retention is a major issue presented in this chapter. The facts that the students form both schools were retaining only a small fraction of the material they had learned only six months after writing the GCSE. As teachers we hope our students retain the knowledge we foster as we prepare them for standardised test such as CRTs and pubic examinations. How do we address retention issues? Are teachers at both schools subconsciously teaching to the exam? I have notice my own body language emphasizing the importance of various popular test items. Would such cues impact retention?
