True.

Similarly: nature vs nuture, reading schemes vs 'real'
books, is there such a thing as dyslexia?, should state
schools have uniform? etc. etc. are all old chestnuts.

However I feel that just because they have been running for
a long time doesn't mean we should stop discussing them. The
reason is that there are constantly new developments. For
example:

The new version of Windows 'Vista' will once again introduce
a whole raft of features currently only available on Macs.
Will this bring PCs up to the same standarda as Macs? Well a
new version of Mac OS X is also due. No-one knows for sure
what it's new features will be. What we do know is that Macs
will be able to run both OS X and Windows providing the best
of both worlds.

Many of the posts on SENCo forum concern 'old chestnuts'. I
for one would not wish that to see that change.

Best wishes

Mark
