Ahh, the great Tristram Hunt. He's one of the reasons why many many teachers won't vote Labour.

That's not a retort, Gusset, it is a throwaway line.

Are you going to defend the Greens educational policy? Failure to do so would imply your agreement, at least in part, with the 'great' Tristram Hunt.


I will defend the greens education policies.
There's much research that concludes starting formal schooling at 7 is better for kids.
Greens believe education should not be left to the market and that schools should be under the remit of local authorities rather than corporate edubusiness. There's been much in the news about cronyism, backhanders and dodgy dealings in academies. Academies lack local democratic accountability.
Like myself, greens are against the overtesting of children. This puts a lot of kids off of school.

There's lots more, but you won't read it Matt so I won't bother.


No, instead you will your typical superior self when questioned and again, dodge the question.

Sorry, can't understand that. I showed several ways in which the greens differ from the other parties. That is not dodging the question, that is answering it.
Now I remember why I stopped engaging with you a while ago.

BTW. I gave up playing what's the missing word. Can you enlighten us? Whilst I understand typing, writing can be an issue for you and sympathise, my advice to you would be the same as I give to my students. Read it back two or three times before handing in.


You have never 'engaged' with me. You have always posted self satisfied ramblings which you think should never be questioned by anyone. The fact I have questioned you, and you clearly hate being questioned as most teachers do as being able to pontificate in front of a group of people (usually younger and far less likely to question your ramblings) is how you get your mojo, is something that obviously gets under your skin.

With regard to your attempt at an insult, I have had worse insults thrown at me today by people who second language is English. Given your professed hostility to personal insults, something you have accused me of many times on here as a distraction from the point of what is being debated, does this make you a massive hypocrite?


Bum gravy. If you were to engage, you'd explain why you think kids should be over tested, why there shouldn't be local democratic accountability in schools and why the academy experiment is working (even though a select committee has just declared it as a disaster)

Edited by nickgusset (29 Jan 2015 9.51pm)

That's you trying to cover your tracks. Typically Trot tactics. You have provided bland nothings as fact.

Please answer the original question. Please defend Green educational policy? By backing up what you mean (I.e., explaining what you mean by 'over testing', not simply stating it as a problem). Why is schooling better started at 7 rather than stating 'studies say this' and instead of a typical 'cunds' rant against academies, explain your opposition to them.


Some evidence of research that formal schooling starts too early in this country... [Link]

Academies...high staff turnover, poor wages for teachers, lack of accountability... I could go on. Also there is no clear evidence that academies raise standards. [Link]

A quick look here gives many examples of research on the negative impact of over testing [Link]

Also, I and many of my colleagues have seen first hand the effect of over testing and the impact it has on the curriculum in schools that teach to the test rather than providing an enriching skills based curriculum.


Edited by nickgusset (29 Jan 2015 10.14pm)

Not so tough, was it Gusset?

I will read, digest and respond accordingly. Won't be tonight.

We are still waiting with baited breath for your opinions on this Matthew. Still not forthcoming I see. I'll presume you forgot, we don't want people thinking that you are all mouth and no trousers when it comes to debating do we?


You haven't answered about whether you admire violent revolutionaries such as Fidel and Che (read the thread).

Jog on Gusset.

Edited by matt_himself (22 Feb 2015 4.53pm)

Deflect deflect deflect. Your contribution to these boards is about as useful as someone with erectile dysfunction is at an orgy.

Castro and Guevara (so difficult to spell you had to call him Che) achieved a great deal for many people fighting against an unjust system and defeating it. So in that respect, to be admired.
Now before you jump on this and say 'oh but Gusset, you are against violent revolution so you are a hypocrite because you admire Fidel and Che' , if their violence was necessary towards their means of ridding their countries of imperialist oppression because peaceful means had failed, then so be it.

Nick, I would be more worried that anyone thinks "flaccid" is a colour....

Ahh, the great Tristram Hunt. He's one of the reasons why many many teachers won't vote Labour.

That's not a retort, Gusset, it is a throwaway line.

Are you going to defend the Greens educational policy? Failure to do so would imply your agreement, at least in part, with the 'great' Tristram Hunt.


I will defend the greens education policies.
There's much research that concludes starting formal schooling at 7 is better for kids.
Greens believe education should not be left to the market and that schools should be under the remit of local authorities rather than corporate edubusiness. There's been much in the news about cronyism, backhanders and dodgy dealings in academies. Academies lack local democratic accountability.
Like myself, greens are against the overtesting of children. This puts a lot of kids off of school.

There's lots more, but you won't read it Matt so I won't bother.


No, instead you will your typical superior self when questioned and again, dodge the question.

Sorry, can't understand that. I showed several ways in which the greens differ from the other parties. That is not dodging the question, that is answering it.
Now I remember why I stopped engaging with you a while ago.

BTW. I gave up playing what's the missing word. Can you enlighten us? Whilst I understand typing, writing can be an issue for you and sympathise, my advice to you would be the same as I give to my students. Read it back two or three times before handing in.


You have never 'engaged' with me. You have always posted self satisfied ramblings which you think should never be questioned by anyone. The fact I have questioned you, and you clearly hate being questioned as most teachers do as being able to pontificate in front of a group of people (usually younger and far less likely to question your ramblings) is how you get your mojo, is something that obviously gets under your skin.

With regard to your attempt at an insult, I have had worse insults thrown at me today by people who second language is English. Given your professed hostility to personal insults, something you have accused me of many times on here as a distraction from the point of what is being debated, does this make you a massive hypocrite?


Bum gravy. If you were to engage, you'd explain why you think kids should be over tested, why there shouldn't be local democratic accountability in schools and why the academy experiment is working (even though a select committee has just declared it as a disaster)

Edited by nickgusset (29 Jan 2015 9.51pm)

That's you trying to cover your tracks. Typically Trot tactics. You have provided bland nothings as fact.

Please answer the original question. Please defend Green educational policy? By backing up what you mean (I.e., explaining what you mean by 'over testing', not simply stating it as a problem). Why is schooling better started at 7 rather than stating 'studies say this' and instead of a typical 'cunds' rant against academies, explain your opposition to them.


Some evidence of research that formal schooling starts too early in this country... [Link]

Academies...high staff turnover, poor wages for teachers, lack of accountability... I could go on. Also there is no clear evidence that academies raise standards. [Link]

A quick look here gives many examples of research on the negative impact of over testing [Link]

Also, I and many of my colleagues have seen first hand the effect of over testing and the impact it has on the curriculum in schools that teach to the test rather than providing an enriching skills based curriculum.


Edited by nickgusset (29 Jan 2015 10.14pm)

Not so tough, was it Gusset?

I will read, digest and respond accordingly. Won't be tonight.

We are still waiting with baited breath for your opinions on this Matthew. Still not forthcoming I see. I'll presume you forgot, we don't want people thinking that you are all mouth and no trousers when it comes to debating do we?


You haven't answered about whether you admire violent revolutionaries such as Fidel and Che (read the thread).

Jog on Gusset.

Edited by matt_himself (22 Feb 2015 4.53pm)

Deflect deflect deflect. Your contribution to these boards is about as useful as someone with erectile dysfunction is at an orgy.

Castro and Guevara (so difficult to spell you had to call him Che) achieved a great deal for many people fighting against an unjust system and defeating it. So in that respect, to be admired.
Now before you jump on this and say 'oh but Gusset, you are against violent revolution so you are a hypocrite because you admire Fidel and Che' , if their violence was necessary towards their means of ridding their countries of imperialist oppression because peaceful means had failed, then so be it.

Says the man who on the UKIP thread used a bunch of cheap insults in a failed attempt to wind me up.

You are the Bez of debate, Gusset. Jog on.


So you're not going to answer the responses about green education policy.
Fair enough. Showing your true colours. Flaccid, Flaccid, Flaccid.

Even Labour, yes that's right Labour, are calling the Greens policies 'total madness'!

Ahh, the great Tristram Hunt. He's one of the reasons why many many teachers won't vote Labour.

That's not a retort, Gusset, it is a throwaway line.

Are you going to defend the Greens educational policy? Failure to do so would imply your agreement, at least in part, with the 'great' Tristram Hunt.


I will defend the greens education policies.
There's much research that concludes starting formal schooling at 7 is better for kids.
Greens believe education should not be left to the market and that schools should be under the remit of local authorities rather than corporate edubusiness. There's been much in the news about cronyism, backhanders and dodgy dealings in academies. Academies lack local democratic accountability.
Like myself, greens are against the overtesting of children. This puts a lot of kids off of school.

There's lots more, but you won't read it Matt so I won't bother.


No, instead you will your typical superior self when questioned and again, dodge the question.

Sorry, can't understand that. I showed several ways in which the greens differ from the other parties. That is not dodging the question, that is answering it.
Now I remember why I stopped engaging with you a while ago.

BTW. I gave up playing what's the missing word. Can you enlighten us? Whilst I understand typing, writing can be an issue for you and sympathise, my advice to you would be the same as I give to my students. Read it back two or three times before handing in.


You have never 'engaged' with me. You have always posted self satisfied ramblings which you think should never be questioned by anyone. The fact I have questioned you, and you clearly hate being questioned as most teachers do as being able to pontificate in front of a group of people (usually younger and far less likely to question your ramblings) is how you get your mojo, is something that obviously gets under your skin.

With regard to your attempt at an insult, I have had worse insults thrown at me today by people who second language is English. Given your professed hostility to personal insults, something you have accused me of many times on here as a distraction from the point of what is being debated, does this make you a massive hypocrite?


Bum gravy. If you were to engage, you'd explain why you think kids should be over tested, why there shouldn't be local democratic accountability in schools and why the academy experiment is working (even though a select committee has just declared it as a disaster)

That's you trying to cover your tracks. Typically Trot tactics. You have provided bland nothings as fact.

Please answer the original question. Please defend Green educational policy? By backing up what you mean (I.e., explaining what you mean by 'over testing', not simply stating it as a problem). Why is schooling better started at 7 rather than stating 'studies say this' and instead of a typical 'cunds' rant against academies, explain your opposition to them.


Some evidence of research that formal schooling starts too early in this country... [Link]

Academies...high staff turnover, poor wages for teachers, lack of accountability... I could go on. Also there is no clear evidence that academies raise standards. [Link]

A quick look here gives many examples of research on the negative impact of over testing [Link]

Also, I and many of my colleagues have seen first hand the effect of over testing and the impact it has on the curriculum in schools that teach to the test rather than providing an enriching skills based curriculum.

Not so tough, was it Gusset?

I will read, digest and respond accordingly. Won't be tonight.

We are still waiting with baited breath for your opinions on this Matthew. Still not forthcoming I see. I'll presume you forgot, we don't want people thinking that you are all mouth and no trousers when it comes to debating do we?


You haven't answered about whether you admire violent revolutionaries such as Fidel and Che (read the thread).

Jog on Gusset.

Edited by matt_himself (22 Feb 2015 4.53pm)

Deflect deflect deflect. Your contribution to these boards is about as useful as someone with erectile dysfunction is at an orgy.

Castro and Guevara (so difficult to spell you had to call him Che) achieved a great deal for many people fighting against an unjust system and defeating it. So in that respect, to be admired.
Now before you jump on this and say 'oh but Gusset, you are against violent revolution so you are a hypocrite because you admire Fidel and Che' , if their violence was necessary towards their means of ridding their countries of imperialist oppression because peaceful means had failed, then so be it.

Says the man who on the UKIP thread used a bunch of cheap insults in a failed attempt to wind me up.

You are the Bez of debate, Gusset. Jog on.


So you're not going to answer the responses about green education policy.
Fair enough. Showing your true colours. Flaccid, Flaccid, Flaccid.


Whatever Gusset.

The fact is, when you look at evidence you provided, which included a Google search, you have view the provider of that information as lazy and not really knowing what he is talki about.


What are your views on the green education policy Matthew?


Tick tock


You really think you are a left wing Paxman when in fact you are a idiot brother of Paul Merson.

No i'd just like you to answer the question. Or say that you don't know enough to be able to answer it.


You don't know enough to ask the question! You invite people to comment off of the back of a Google search you post a link too.

Pathetic.

You don't know the difference between the trade and budget deficit. How can I have faith that you understand the difference between Green education policy and gnats arsehole?


So you don't know about the Green's education policy? Fair enough.
A shame because I always thought that 'I will read, digest and respond accordingly. Won't be tonight.' meant that some sort of response would be forthcoming.
Not in the wacky world of Matthew it would seem.
