It appears to me that the Ofsted driven tick-box culture, over-observed lessons, and the one-size-fits-all pressure from political interference is driving creativity and flair out of the classroom. Our teachers are being transformed into clones. They operate like robots. Nobody is willing to take risks in their teaching and would not be backed if they do. They play safe.
Education is restricted to a narrow frame of subjects which is abandoning creative subjects and focussing on Maths, English and to a limited extent Science. Art, Music, Drama and other creative subjects are being squeezed out of the curriculum.
Streaming, Academies and Selection are causing social divisions. We are back to first and second class students.
Religious schools and Academies are being run by groups with very narrow perspectives. Do we really want people with narrow religious or political views getting their hands on our children?
Good teachers are leaving in droves. Morale is exceedingly low. I really do not believe education is safe in Tory hands. All they care about is the private elite!
