What is depressing is teaching and edumacation being used as a political football.
Both left and right, yourself too as 'Divisional Union Secretary' or whatever self important tag you give yourself, use education as political football. Your posts on here reek of it and are ideologically driven.
And once again you are missing the point. You condemn the Tories for supposedly using education as an ideological football when you yourself do the same. I am pointing this out from your previous post. Hypocrite.
I don't believe that you have anyone's interests in mind other than teachers, by which you are trying to secure higher pay, Lower workloads, gold plated pensions and a culture where teachers aren't questionned at all about their working practices or whether they are any good. You hide this behind a nonsensical political ideology. That's what's coming across.
No it's not. That's what's coming across.

This details transference of property and the money academy chains are making through selling off 'excess' land for profit.
But even the link says August 2012, so it's steam rolling ahead clearly.... Which of the facts in the article are wrong? Are any articles unbiased? Using that logic this must be just as valid. It even uses evidence rather than mostly citing other blog posts written by the same person. I would like to see how free schools do in comparison to non-free schools when the next set of results come out (later this year I think); whether they have a demographic advantage (currently the evidence seems to says no, but there is only a limited sample size); and whether they have been set up in areas of need (again the evidence is too limited to draw full conclusions, but suggests they have been). Once more data is available I think it will be reasonable to judge. On the other side, I would like to see actual evidence that having a teacher training certificate makes someone a better teacher, and whether comprehensive schools actually did better for their pupils' education than the old system of grammar and technical schooling. Which at least let students excel in an area of aptitude rather than trying to pretend they were all essentially the same. Something that is patently silly.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

Under Tory cund plans, if all students do not know their times tables on leaving primary school for 2 years in a row, a school can be forced into being an academy. How stupid! Whilst I acknowledge that rapid recall of multiplication facts is a good thing, there is no way on God's earth that all children are capable of learning them.

I couldn't tell you anything about it what is right or wrong with it because i'm not reading it. Find a credible news source and yes, unbiased ones do exist.

Since the teachers have been "tested" for want of a better word on their personal abilities at teaching, many have gone sick with stress after getting bad marks.

I've only had experience since my eldest started primary, so 4 years, and, despite being in a small local primary, I can think, off the top of my head (and only teachers I know of) of three long term 'stress related' sickies, including the head teacher, and one of the three has been off for two long term periods. I'm not sure whether that's typical of teaching and/or the public sector (having never worked in either).

As someone that works in the public sector myself (having previously worked in the private sector for 20 odd years) its simply full of people that have simply idled their way through life without fear of losing their jobs, major change or both. Now that its becoming more of a reality unless they change their ways the number of stress related absences is increasing that's for sure. Having said that there are plenty of good people that remain; its just that whenever the pressure is on its the weakest that fall first...its the natural order of things I guess.
