"The leader of the UK’s biggest #education #union has torn into the government’s record on #schools, accusing #Labour of letting down the nation’s #children & failing to deliver on its promises for education... On Monday the #Green party leader, Zack #Polanski, received a standing ovation on the conference stage after he promised radical change, including the abolition of #Ofsted, a 'serious cash injection' into schools & an end to academisation."

The failing nursery where Manchester academics' children are expected to write before knowing how to use a pencil

I like how Zack is winning over the old Labour voting blocs one by one.
The horror of having only a two party system and both teams are locked into a death spiral with no third party to jump to.
Good luck to Canada and their third party, the only way is up from where it was!

Inspectors tell primary school more work needed to support pupils with special educational needs

Proud moment.
I had to fill out a 'parent view' government form for my kid's school's ofsted inspection this week.
There were a lot of boxes to tick - ticked em. But then there was an empty box to fill in with views, so I wrote a bunch of positive things about my kid's experience at the school - and a final negative thing about there not being enough teachers due to the national crisis. Topped it off with 'abolish ofsted'.
