News yesterday, today on the front of the papers that this government, in office for over a decade has now concocted a new way of ruining people's lives: for the next seven years the children of this country are to become involved - on an entirely involuntary basis - in (yet another) educational experiment. This is Suck it and See policy making on the fly the victims of which will be children who are the age my daughter is now, which means my daughter. The escape hatch is jammed closed and the price she pays just gets higher and higher.
I have no confidence whatsoever in this administration.
And it is hardly heartening that the colossal drip Michael Gove who is (Tory) shadow spokesthingummy for Education has pooh-poohed the proposed expansion of diplomas into more academic areas of 'study' on the entirely fatuous grounds that the new diploma in academic areas would undermine traditional qualifications. Well, doh!
This is primary school playground debate on the subject of secondary education and that's hardly heartening.
What's heart breaking though is that the Tories have since this government was first elected been at the head of the annual stampede to protest the perceived corruption of the 'gold standard' A Level qualification and the general dumbing down of standards in education.
In life, in general, one can't have it 'both ways' but Michael Gove at least seems determined die a political death trying to.
