Yes – our education system is under stress like never before. The Tories chucked out teaching the whole child and have brought in teaching to exams. It’s all about stats now. Your child has become a number to be jumped through loops, every lesson is a nightmare of preparation and marking geared to extract another exam mark. Personality has gone out the window. Every lesson has to follow the same prescribed formula. It is teaching by numbers to robots.
The Tory idea of education – draft in the soldiers! You don’t need teachers just enforcers!
Teachers and students are being bullied, traumatised and demoralised.
It is scrutinised, observed and analysed to death with dire threat of the sack for non-compliance. There is streaming, testing, exams, over-bearing threats and fear.
Children are ‘processed’, Teachers are threatened and Ofsted are the Storm-troopers who apply the thumb-screws.
It’s the fascist idea of education for the plebs.
