Ian McEwan's C grade


The novelist Ian McEwan has said that he feels dubious about schools including his work in the curriculum after he helped his son to write an essay about one of his own books and it received a C grade. It has led to questions about who owns literature once it has been created. Are students being taught to over-analyse works of literature? Michael Frayn, author of A-Level text Spies, and writer Imogen Stubbs say it's ruining education. (Image: Ian McEwan, credit: BBC)
