  Poorer children would be offered the chance to attend lessons on Saturday to help catch up with their middleclass peers(同龄人), the shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, said todayThe Conservatives would give English state schools the freedom to choose to have longer teaching hours and extra classes at the weekend, he told the Association of Teachers and Lecturers'annual conference

  Gove said the move would help to close the achievement gap with richer children whose parents could afford extras such as tutoring and music lessons

  He told delegates(代表)in Manchester“For children who come from homes where parents don't have the resources to provide additional stretch and cultural experiences, there are benefits in having those children in the learning environment, in school, for longer

  “Parents would love to have schools starting earlier in some circumstances, and certainly going on later in the afternoon, given the reality of their working lives,”he saidHe held up the example of Kipp(Knowledge is Power Program)schools in the US, which are often based in the poorest communities and open from 730 a. m to 5pm on weekdays, plus Saturdays

  But it would be up to schools to decide to offer longer hours, Gove added

  Parents said Saturday classes could become a“badge of dishonor”if pupils were forced to go, while teachers raised concerns about their workload

  Margaret Morrissey, of Parents Outloud, said“I think the suggestion the government made about one-to-one teaching for these kids would be a more preferable way of improving these children's performanceI'm just not sure whether taking away a child at weekends is actually going to make them cleverer in the week

  The ATL's general secretary, Mary Bousted, said“If we want Saturday schools, then we need more teachers doing the extra hours, not the same teachers working longer

  At 2∶30 December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida.The planes flew east over the coast…and disappeared.The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas.Tailor was the group leader.At about 3∶40, Tailor reported that his compasses(指南针)were not reading properly.The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly, first east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio.Then, suddenly Tailor was heard to give orders to dive…

  Fifty–eight percent of the teachers interviewed in the Association of Teachers and Lecturers(ATL)questionnaire had come across copying among their pupils.Gill Bullen from Itchen College in Southampton, for example, said, "Pieces handed in by two students were identical and significantly better than either of them could have done.Not only that, the essays handed in didn't quite answer the title question I had set".A teacher from Leeds said, "I had one piece of work so bravely cut and pasted that it still contained ads from the web page."

  Connie Robinson from Stockton Riverside College said, "With less able students it is easy to spot copying as the writing style changes in the middle of the assignment, but with more able students it is sometimes necessary for tutors to carry out Internet research to identify the source of the copy."

  Mary Bousted, general secretary of the ATL, said," Teachers are struggling under a mountain of cut-and-pasting to spot whether work was the student's own or copy." She called for policies to stop copying, and asked for help from exam boards and the government in providing resources and techniques to detect cheats.

  But there was another side."I have found once students clearly understand what copying is, its consequences and how to reference correctly so they can draw on published works, copying becomes less of a problem," said Diana Baker from Emmanuel College, Durham.

  "I think the majority of students who engage in copying do it more out of ignorance than the desire to cheat.They really want to succeed on their own."
