And yet you consistently blame those on the front line of education and refuse to accept the myriad other factors involved.
Of course I blame those who claim to have the children's best interest at heart but who have been happy to enjoy the status quo when standards were falling (but grades were rising) all the while while they were getting above inflation increases and large pensions, yet only ever voted to strike for the own pay and pensions.
Had those people stood up to the Labour government and highlighted the dumbing down of education (and demonstrated their focus on education rather than their own pay and benefits) then I'd have a lot more sympathy for them.
I presume you do actually understand the difference between what I'm saying and what you are claiming?
You are clearly happy to see the target driven, performance related culture that worked soooo well in the finance sector to our children and the teachers trying to teach them.
So predictable - is that really what has been suggested? Of course not.
Yet being able to differentiate between the best and the worst teachers would seem like a good thing to most people and private sector involvement in education works well in that socialist utopia of Sweden.
Yet teachers think that 'they know best' and should be allowed to carry on as normal without state interference while getting above market pay and benefits, all the while standards decline. And those seem people are so keen to force state interference on private companies....
