> Systems do not work in teaching ( I’ll give you a moment to digest that casual bombshell). They work for behaviour management, but even here I think idiosyncratic systems work in classes with individual teachers best. However, school wide systems for teaching and learning never work as intended. Why? Humanity. I have worked in highly systemised environments, and I know that as slick as a system appears is it is merely the surface; appearances can be deceptive. I have laughed out loud at the idea that lesson planning can be quality controlled and that some schools boast that children know that when they go into a class anywhere in a school they will receive the same quality of teaching ‘because systems’. It is as if some leaderships feel they have created the Tesco Finest Curriculum Range. [source](http://heymisssmith.blogspot.com/2018/09/that-curriculum-thing.html)
