Under the Tories it is teaching by numbers.
All that matters is the results, the league tables and the statistics.
Every lesson is slotted into the same mould.
Every teacher is battered into the routine of an automaton.
Heaven help you if you have a personality or flair.
One size fits all.
The children are drilled to become regurgitating zombies.
We must climb the league tables, remember the facts, pass the exams.
Every school has a big bonfire on which they pile the useless things to be burnt. Things like Fun, creativity, care, individuality, music, art, and culture.
This is the Tory concept of pass and fail. The bright ones are worthy; the rest are worthless.
Children are dumped on the rubbish heap.
This is the age of education on the cheap. We do not need qualified teachers. They are too expensive. The plebs can manage with anyone standing in front of a class.
This is education for free. Set up a ‘Free’ School – let the Creationists, Religious Right and Big Business pay to indoctrinate your kids. It won’t cost the State a penny.
We’ll get the big Academy groups in to cream off a profit off your kid.
And if your kid should complain that the stress is too much, the lessons are too boring, the curriculum is too narrow; we’ll get some soldiers in to keep discipline!
And if the teachers complain we’ll put them through a disciplinary and threaten them with capability.
And if the Management complain we’ll bring in Ofsted and have them kicked out.
This is the age of bullying, winners and losers.
Unless you are in the Public School system and can pay to send your child to a Private School – you can have teachers with flair, schools without bureaucracy, no ofsted breathing down your neck and lots of personal attention, interesting lessons, creativity and culture. Because you deserve it!
