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. |  |

It teaches them to respect the state. The state that is providing them with an education. Teaches them to be thankful for the things they have that many less fortunate children around the world yearn for. |
Ah. Classic cap doffer. Kiss that ring Paz!
I'd rather teach them to question the state. I'd rather teach them to think for themselves. I'd rather equip them with the skills to truthfully assess Britain's position in the world rather than be mindless flag shaggers. |  |

Don't many (most?) academy chain providers actually make money from our education system rather than provide funding? In other words, some of our taxes are paying these private businesses to profit from running our schools.
It would only be a small number (possibly faith ones alone) where the administrators would put funding into running them wouldn't it? |  |

That’s ok, we have different opinions. There’s no scandal here. |  |

Interesting upvote, Paz. You are for private companies profiting from our taxes and gaining the freedom to influence our education system too. I suppose it fits with your free market ideologies.
You are happy that many of these companies are Scandinavian or run by friends of Government and get favourable treatment by Ofsted so that the quality of their provision is not properly assessed? | |

Thank you for the clarification. |
Reminds of the time Michael Winner asked the BBC to apologise as ‘Have I Got News For You’joked that he had dirty underwear. Sometimes the apology, or clarification, makes the original complaint even more ridiculous. |  | | |

Up vote was based on verification of my earlier point that vast majority of funding comes from taxpayer.
I don’t agree with academies at all. I think they are a waste of time and money. | |

Are you for an entirely private education system instead?
Is your same logic applied towards NHS funding? | |

No, I don’t have a problem with private schools. If rich people want to spend their money on that then I don’t see that as any of my business. State schools should be state schools though. I don’t see how this academy malarkey adds anything to education.
Health is a little more complicated. I don’t have an issue with rich people taking out private health insurance, it doesn’t bother me. I do think that state hospitals should, in the main be just that, I do think the private sector may have a role to play in research and development etc though. Again, just my opinion. | |

The state is not there to be respected - We're not totalitarian yet.
Civil liberties on the other hand...
Quite honestly you've more or less described communism - let that sink in. [Post edited 4 Apr 2021 23:38]

“He didn’t let that sink in.”
Should add, I’m sure you mean communism in historic practice and not theory. Always important to make that distinction with folk like Paz. [Post edited 5 Apr 2021 0:28]

They are not supposed to! This is why their finances need to be scrutinised. The biggest scandal are these super heads on £250-500k and they simply ignore anything questioning that. I believe there are a handful of these across the country now | |

I appreciate this thread has seen lots of chicanery onto the flag issue, but going back to the first link. Williamson has come out with this to the same union https://www.tes.com/news/watch-far-too-many-teachers-leaving-says-williamson?fbc
It baffles me important services like educating health are presided over by non experts, but it’s on his watch that so much has gone wrong. I would love to see the training and assessment he has gone through. | |

Teachers don't need more training to improve attrition rates, they need working conditions that don't cause them to have a nervous breakdown within a couple of years of qualifying. |  |

It was ever the case that ministers have little to no experience or understanding of their brief and I'm not sure how one gets round this; it is in the nature of the system that ministers meddle.
Some ministers seem to view their brief as a rung on the ladder so want to "make their mark". Others drive a political agenda ignoring any advice the professionals may give (Williamson's "I am confident that this (training) is going to feature strongly" statement about Collins' yet to be written report seems to me a case in point), yet others leap uncritically on any idea that the professionals hand them.
Rare, indeed, is the minister who says "I want to improve this" and then critically appraises and discusses options with stakeholders. Even five year fixed term parliaments don't help this short-termism. Holistic and strategic approaches to services such as education and health, if they exist, are constantly undermined by the tactical approaches of different ministers, sometimes different ministers within the life of a parliament.
Of course under certain governments "big ticket" items like education and health will always be under pressure to reduce spending and whilst financial efficiency is to be lauded it too often is the driver for inappropriate reform. |  |
