There is no such thing as an easy pandemic. Every corner of society is exposed; each one of us battling our own problems. For headteachers in England, those problems are multiplied by the anxieties of the 8.7 million children for whom they are responsible.
Sadly propaganda is the main focus of schools - very young children being taught inappropriate content on homosexuality issues. Dissent & protest is termed 'anti-social behaviour' and characterized as having a “significant adverse impact” on pupils, teachers and the community.
An interesting read
Great article miss_mcinerney you've said a lot of things that teachers are currently thinking.
That is why so many kids get out of school without much skills or even learning to read and write properly.
Care to comment, michaelgove? Probably not. This was just a way undoing Labour policies that had children’s interests at heart. Something he has zero interest in.
Sad but true. More focus on feeding kids than educating them.
Teachers are 1..... 2 a penny to Gove
I’ve had an email at least once a week from my son’s head of year asking how he’s coping - his school are definitely getting it right as much as they can 💕
... but in an ideal world, it should be. Idiots having kids they can’t afford (or choose not) to feed shouldn’t be the responsibility of the Department for Education.
10 years of consistent underfunding of the public sector now being laid bare by the virus....despite the best efforts of teachers, doctors, nurses, the police, armed forces etc to mitigate. Govt reaction?..blame anyone but the Tories.
On schools: 'what’s valued here is the ability to work on an assembly line, even if it’s an intellectual assembly line. The important thing is to be able to obey orders, and to do what you’re told, and to be where you’re supposed to be' Chomsky (Understanding Power)
