Most teachers can't teach. They are barely literate and are ignorant of their subject. They don't give a damn about their pupils and are very lazy. They are unhygienic and most of them stink. They are all leftwing reactionaries & are money-obsessed. They all vote Labour and hate their own country. Most of them smoke & most are virtually alcoholic. They are unreflecting and can't think. They are immoral & help their pupils cheat to pass exams. All teachers must be replaced by computers.
i'm sick of this whole blame the labour government "argument" also. The fact is that the the torys agreed with every penny of labours borrowing up until the GLOBAL financial crisis. Open your eyes and look at whats happening throughout the world in terms of their economy. Torys continue to use the "labour caused our economy to collapse" for every single excuse for their distablisiling cuts to our economy. Utter discrace, although if you live in London, or were educated at Eton, just ignore this.
Gove is doing a much better job at improving the education system than any Labour minister ever did. He's restoring academic rigour and classrom discipline - exactly what is needed after 13 years of Labour rule demolished our education system.
@OfMiceandTransmen No he is turning it into an elitist system, designed to produce a two-tier and privatised education system that benefits the rich and privileged. If you can't see that, you're just another out-of-touch thatcherite with no concept of education as a force for social mobility.
@LoneRookRS1 Hmmm...I don't really know why Lefties think it's "elitist" to want to improve state school education. Perhaps you think having Labour's system of excellent private schools for the rich and pitiful state schools for the poor was good for social mobility?
@OfMiceandTransmen Err, funding for schoolchildren doubled under a Labour administration, whereas the Tories cut EMA, slashed funding for Surestart centres and tripled higher education fees. New Labour was not perfect, but I'd trust it more than I'd trust you milk-snatchers. Calling me a "leftie "is all you've got.
@LoneRookRS1 The Tories slashed EMA for a good reason. What kind of country pays its children to go to school anyway?!? Thanks to 13 years of Labour rule, the UK went from having one of the best education systems in the world to being very low down on the international PISA league tables. I think restoring academic rigour & classrom discipline is more of a priority for the government than doling out £30/week in EMA so teenagers can spend it on booze and fags.
@OfMiceandTransmen EMA is designed to support families on lower income. Yes, EMA has been abused and exploited for non-educational materials, but that is because the system was not set up properly. EMA could be managed like a tax return, where EMA-eligible students and their families could be refunded money on an annual basis through receipts and records over their expenditure on books, bus fares and stationery.
Tories slashed EMA because they blame the poor for their financial situation.
@LoneRookRS1 The Tories slashed EMA because the country can no longer afford to pay it out, thanks to Gordon Brown's legacy of debt. They did, however, replace it with a bursary to ensure that the very poorest kids are supported through education.
@OfMiceandTransmen Oh please, enough of the "last government" crap. Cameron could dig out £41 million extra for the Olympics opening ceremony, so if they can blow it on fireworks they can blow if on a few schoolbooks for the kids. Ever heard of the phrase "what you give with one hand you take away with the other"? That is basically the political approach to education - remove the labour infrastructure and replace it with a tory one in order to take credit for any achievements.
@OfMiceandTransmen please, don't rattle on with this whole "blame the last labour government" bollocks. The education system worked fine until Michael Gove cut it. If cuts are an improvement on things, then I suppose you'd like the NHS to go bust as well. Michael Gove's view of education is that the rich should be properly educated and the oiks should be shown the door.
@fan1odw No, the education system didn't work fine under Labour. Britain used to be world-famous for state-of-the-art education before Labour got in. In 2009 the UK didn't do well on the international PISA league tables at all. Just look at teenagers & their ability to spell, use punctuation and grammar. Most of them confuse "you're" and "your", "there" and "their", along with writing things like "1970's" instead of "1970s". So...no, the education wasn't "doing fine 'til Gove came along".
I despised the hate campaign against EMA. I'm currently at university now, and would certainly have dropped out at 16/17 - it was difficult finding the motivation and my EMA not only gave that but made it possible for me to have the same opportunities at school as richer kids.
