The latest findings from one teaching union found the following https://www.nasuwt.org.uk/article-listing/covid-impacts-on-teacher-mental-health
No other profession had the constant scrutiny and scapegoating from the government and its media chums did it? But the anonymous survey reveals grim reading at a time when people are trying to support each other still.
Then Hunt goes on to tweet some of the most tone deaf and sinister rhetoric aiming this at people.
You couldn’t get hawking the latest populist gimmick more wrong if you tried. |  |

Who funds them if not the tax payer? |
https://www.gov.uk/types-of-school
It entirely depends on the type of school. 7% of the population are privately educated and completely free of control, they also go to places that register as charities to avoid tax in most instances.
Academies are run by not for profit business interests of varying quality and scruples. They are partially tax payer funded. Would you like company logos on your flags too?
Faith schools take money from local or interested religious groups. Would you like the union flag to sit behind that if the Vatican, Saudi Arabia, Israel etc as would happen here if we apply Hunts baffling logic to all people and institutions here?
I’m sure you will study the link I’ve provided and let me know where I’ve gone wrong. | |

Ok, thanks. I had not thought about faith schools. I think we’re safe to say though that the overwhelming majority of funding comes from the taxpayer. |  |

The funny thing is, despite all his views on education, and which kids should and should not be allowed to go hungry/drown in a dinghy, Paz probably isn't allowed within 500ft of any school! |
Now that really is going too far. | |

My History GSCE (which may I add was optional the last two years) taught us nowt about the war. So basically, my educational minimum on WWII ended in year 9 at 14.
And yes, it was very much the flag waving simplified version.
Hence why we have such a large chunk of Britain who refuse to accept facts beyond that.
I’m sure flying some Union Jacks outside the school will fix this issue though. |
This is a real problem but one without any easy solutions.
The issue with teaching history is that it's such a huge subject it's impossible to teach it all or even a tiny proportion of it even if one studies to a very high level. I only studied to A-Level but with that we essentially learnt about 1 century of British and European history and a bit about the historical method.
Given this nearly everyone is going to have a limited understand of history from school as even what is covered isn't covered in depth. Only those who are willing to continue learning under their own steam will ever get a greater depth of understanding.
As the majority won't go on to do that the flag-waving simplification of history is easy for people to push and for others to embrace.

It also doesn’t help when every Tory government seems to want to politicise the subject. Gove and the lions led by donkeys argument being a case in point.
It’s a subject I live teaching and studying in my own time, but I loved it at school. Most kids don’t, or at least beyond the blood and guts parts. One of the biggest issues is teaching source analysis as it’s a hard skill, more than ever kids are bombarded with unchecked information and so are their parents. Teaching them to spot bias etc is difficult but rewarding. | |

What a dumb post. That has nothing to do with post you were replying to. Not even close. A straw man of monumental proportions.
But if you're going to bring up vacuous assertions, then I think you're also wrong on that. Most on the left I know don't hate the UK. They hate what it's turned into with the loss of traditional British values, like decency, mutual respect, the rule of law, etc. That's a massive difference. |
Paz does somewhat seem to like a PM that lies, gives public money to the woman he is cheating on his wife with and uses racist language.
Not really sure Paz understands basic human decency.
So can probably be ignored on most things related to values, British or otherwise. |  | | |

There’s nothing primitive about loving one’s country. I really don’t understand why leftists hate their own country so much. |
I don't hate my country, I hate what you and people like you have done to it. |  | | |

He’s right. Schools should fly the flag and they should do it with pride. |
What benefit will it bring to childrens' education?
Bonus points for rferencing and actual research over vague guff like 'pride'. |  |

Just to teach people to be proud of the country they live in. It’s done in America so why not here? |
Yeah, that's worked really well to heal divisions in the US, hasn't it? | |

That’s the nub if it isn’t it? The right wing think they own patriotism and through cheap symbolism and stupid rhetoric alone.
Yet they won’t pay for anything they fear someone else might get more use of, even if they don’t need it themselves. It’s a bizarre mentality and even stranger fact their narrative is so accepted. | |

As with all subjects, it is getting the mix of skills and facts (and which ones are most important) right that matters.
The past few Governments (well mainly Gove on his own), have shifted the focus heavily towards facts and selected ones that suit a more Victorian worldview in many cases. Whilst there ought to be an increasing focus on making education suitable for all (such as valuing vocational and practical qualifications for less academic students), the trend has moved in completely the opposite direction. This has been due in most part to the way competition for funding in education and league tables are arranged.
There are a few things the Government has got right in things such as putting a focus on numeracy and literacy and ensuring a continuation of them for those who do not meet a minimum level. However, with the assessment of them not being entirely fit for purpose, they continue to perpetuate the belief in most non-academic students that they are failures. This is in a system where grades are awarded on a Bell-shaped distribution curve (at least when exams are run). I bet many ministers who support these ideas and have voted for them probably couldn't even meet the minimum standards themselves. |  |

There's a lesson here for you Paz.
Do your research before forming an opinion. |  |

The fact that a very small percentage of schools are funded by religious organisations rather than directly from the taxpayer in no way changes any of my opinions expressed on this thread. | |

You do understand that faith schools and academies are funded by both right? That’s what was being pointed out to you.
Also if you study the history of this country’s education system the role of the church is massive. I’m not sure what point you think you are arguing here. | |

I’m not arguing against that point at all. Ok, religious organisations play a larger role than I thought; however the state still provides the bulk of the money so I still think the flag should be respected. Just my opinion. | |
