Dear me wyhtch , I find your correct on a lot of things but you don't half go on mate.
Take chill pill pal .
As for teachers they have been rewarded and rewarded every year but with out having to improve. In fact the profession really does need a shake up.
Starting with whom is selected to be a teacher in the uk, any one with just basic qualifications can go into teaching , other countries only select from the top 10 percent there teachers.
That's something that need to be looked at, as for free schools they don't even have to have qualified teachers, so you could end up being taught physics by the janitor.
That's the problem with GOVE he wants higher standards at the same time he encourages lowering them.
GOVE has one plan and that's to privatise the education system , introducing free schools , academy's and now the idea of community funded schools.
It's all a bid to break the unions grip of the class rooms.
Once they achieve this they will introduce some sort of privately run schools , group 4 security would run the playgrounds , whs smith would run the English lessons , home economics would be taken in tesco,sex education at the Ann summers shop.
That's the plan GOVE wants that's the future
