Memorising poetry is Michael Gove's latest dictat.
I haven't heard him saying why.
I wonder if it's because he knows of research which indicates that committing material to the memory, in some moderation, is good for cognitive development.
If it is, I wonder why he doesn't pay more attention to educational research.
And I wonder how the poems to be selected will be chosen.
