Therefore craft has always been in the curriculum but some felt it was over looked. By introducing it into the scheme of work more craft was introduced into schools and interlinked into industry careers.

Instead they believed that marketisation will produce schools to run more efficiently like a business therefore schools will have to compete against each other to attract the consumers, by showing them what they want to see- such as outstanding success in exams. There have been many polices introduced to promote marketisation such as: league tables, open enrolment, formula funding and educational vouchers. On the other hand despite the benefits of marketisation, critics argued that it has increased inequalities within social class, gender and ethnicity. Ways in which marketisation reproduced and legitimises inequality is through league tables and funding. Publishing schools exams results in league tables ensure that the school has to achieve phenomenal results if they want to attract likes of the consumers.

Pupils may be in articulate or reluctant to talk, so unstructured interviews give them time and space along with encouragement to work out their responses. However, younger pupils have a shorter attention span so they may find long unstructured interviews too demanding as they can be quite time consuming. They can take several hours each and pupils are restrained to their timetable. There is also the need for training and the interviewer needs to have a background into education increasing the cost.

In the United Kingdom, a group of teachers hope to ban the word fail and replace it with “deferred access” (Smerconish 65). Teachers believe that using more politically correct words is better for students. They also believe they can ease pressures on students by changing their grading tactics. Grading papers in red ink has been commonly accepted since the 1700s. However, society has come to believe that the color red is harsh and can be demoralizing to students.
This meant that the teachers focused on all the students not just the able students. However, it did have a negative effect, teachers sometimes cheated to get better grades so that they got a wage increase. This also caused schools to adapt to exams and inspections. Which then led on to introducing revision which is a massive part of education nowadays. The revised code also showed tax payers that their money wasn't being wasted and the government was using it
The pre-service educator thinks if someone who encourages learning along with required truths is known as an ideal educator. Additionally, there are more than a few facets needed of a teacher like imagination, inspiration, and eagerness; one needs these facets to survive as an educator.
