Badenoch, the equalities Minister remember, has just advocated cutting teaching assistants in schools and extra-curricular activities (pre and post school day).
Resources of course which tend to help the disadvantaged more than anyone.
Ah, the cuddly Tories... |  | | |  |

She comes across as thoroughly vile. Typical of the more recent intake.
(But then cross referencing the other thread talking about the whips, maybe these aren't necessarily her views and she just thinks she needs to say vile things to appeal to the UKIP side of their base). |  |

What was her reasoning? Just about money? |  |

Presumably it won't be the case in any of these private schools that all their kids go to.
All part of the end game. Educate their kids privately so that they can earn lots of money and vote for the Tories who will make them richer. Ensure everyone else has less opportunity, grows up that little bit thicker or less educated and make it that little bit easier to convince them that it's all the foreigners and the work shy that are to blame for 200 people having 700 thousand gazillion pounds between them. |  | | |

A good teaching assistant is like a god send to teachers who can’t give 20-30 kids their full attention. If she’s advocating getting rid of such school activities then a lot of parents won’t be able to work.
Those candidates just seem to be rushing to the absolute scum of their party. |  | | |

Wokeness. Concentrate on "the proper curriculum" | | | |

I think they're essential too, especially if you going to have classes of 30 kids. Interesting that they attack TAs paid a relative pittance, but not not academies paying corporate-style head teachers and other seniors 100 grand plus | |

I'm sure if you asked her, she wouldn't know.
It's simply Tory buzzword bingo in these 'manifesto' pledges to the membership right now | | | |

Some on here get upset when posters slaughter the Tories, but their heroes make it so easy to do so. The Conservative Party is increasingly vile. |  | | |

Just like how a lot of hospital wards won’t be able to operate as well without their Nursing Assistants, schools will be the poorer without TAs. If anything, they should be given a pay rise and propels encouraged to become one.
It’s just madness.
Is it considered ‘Essential Criteria’ for newer Tories to be vile? | | | |

Yes it is. This generation is known as "Thatcher's children." Children often rebel and become more outrageous than their parents. (Some going in the case of Thatcher but I don't think, despite her many faults, she was a lying, corrupt, cronyist law breaker) | | | |

Yep.
Prime Minister - I can't live on £250k, It's chicken feed.
Also Prime Minister - How dare you want a pay rise from £30k to £32k. You're paid quite enough.
Also Prime Minister - You're disabled and out of work and get £65 a week. Stop squandering it you waster. | | | |

You don't know what woke means ?
It is all around us. An insidious threat to is all, something to focus the righteous fear of all good citizens
Children are being taught that some people are gay, that black people are equal and that should be able to live a life as well as the rest (where possible). Wokiness is also the belief that people should be allowed to marry animals, you don't have to eat animal flesh to survive and the bible might not be fallible.
Be aware, wokiness is all around us (not like God, though), and climate changing is caused by wokiness, as is Covid and inflation
As a signed up member of the anti woke platoon, I fear there will soon be coming amongst us a plague of locusts, and unless the Channel Tunnel is closed, a plague of frogs as well. | | | |

And as an added insult you get Tory MPs happily dispensing advice on how to cook meals for 20p - whilst enjoying heavily discounted food and drink at Parliament. | | | |

Please! My blood pressure is rising at the thought of this horrific crew of ghouls. It would take a big book to describe their sins - all visited upon us and our fellow citizens.
Having said that I get even more angry about the fact that they have supportive voters. | | | |

You might have to wait a few minutes for the next idiot Tory comment, but never fear, there's always another along.
Cruella Suella has this idiocy
“Whilst universal credit did a very good amount of work to stamp out that welfare dependency, we still have a stubborn tail of the population that refuses to enter into economy activity."
no, UC has been shown to be a very inefficient system that is worse than what went before
those dependant (40%) are actually in work, which doesn't say much about the pay of the work they are doing - might it be an idea to pay them enough so they do not need UC - as all it is doing is holding down wages.
cutting UC in parts of the north will not allow those workers to move to where there are vacancies (south)
and if the nonsense that is UC was serving it's supposed purpose then there would not be hoards of 'layabouts' idling at home as sanctions would have cut their money
as usual what Tories spout rarely stands up to even a cursory glance | | | |

Her parents are Nigerian and she was educated in Lagos
Left in 96 so our paths never crossed.
Her siblings are called Fola and Lola.
She's a Tory who tbh aren't my fav people today (Dad just waited 5 hours for an ambulance) but thought the above was of mild interest |  |

I assumed she was just doing this for a bit of a career boost but she's currently polling (among Conservative voters via ConservativeHome) in second behind Mordaunt.
Worrying stuff. |  |

I'm very naive about this. Do we even need TAs? Aren't TAs just a solution to not having enough teachers? Presumably the answer then is to have more teachers? Or is there a genuine efficiency reason for having support people who don't necessarily need to go through full teacher training and be paid as much?
The TAs in our kids junior school seemed fantastic, but we never had them back in my time. We had slightly smaller classes and it seemed to work. | |

They are shockingly badly paid and unlike teachers for only 39 weeks a year. My daughter works with reception age kids with SEN in a school in a pretty tough area. She's been bitten, hit and sworn at by 5 year olds. She loves it and is making a difference to their lives. I'd love to see Badenoch do a couple of shifts. Absolute fecking shower the lot of them. |  | | |

So when I was teaching in KS2, we had funding for one general TA in each class every morning. We also had a number of SEN kids who had one on one support.
Without the support, many of the SEN children would need to be taught elsewhere - as they'd have been too disruptive without that support. It enabled them to access the learning and additionally benefited the other pupils as they were taught with kids with a variety of difficulties and it helped them develop empathy skills.
TAs are paid less than half what a teacher earns. If you took say 2 classes of 30 in theory you could fund 3 classes of 20, but without the TAs. But - there is no room/space for them to do that. I've never heard of schools with empty classrooms - so it's a largely academic debate.
Removing TA funding will negatively impact the quality of teaching and learning - little debate imho. | |

Mrs ullaa is in the same boat on that 39 weeks a year thing as a piano teacher. People assume all school staff have these lovely long holidays and are comfortably paid, but to many, its a curse not a blessing.
The best bit is that mrs ullaa (as a freelancer) often gets treated by the teachers as the big bad outside capitalist business person come into take a school's money, when in actual fact, given all the unpaid hours expected, she's often on an affective pay rate of £10, no holiday, no sick pay. She gets it from both ends (so to speak. no sniggering). Its sh1t, but she loves music and teaching kids, so its the onyly real choice other than going private, which isn;t really a choice at all. | |
