“I spoke to teachers preparing to strike. Their trauma was palpable” by @johnharris1969

This extract describes exactly what has been happening at my children’s #school and also at my #University. Exactly all this. All that is good is being destroyed by this most awful, culpable of governments. I fully support the #NEU #TeacherStrike this week

I spoke to teachers preparing to strike. Their trauma was palpable

Staff are burning out and classroom cupboards are bare, hitting students hard. We should feel shock – but also a sinking sense of deja vu, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Just to add: a friend recently told me that #KingstonUniversity in London is closing its politics department, and that therefore from Sep onwards they have no job. This even though the dep is not running a deficit. The #University claim they are closing it in anticipation. What it boils down to is that this government wants poor people to do vocational stuff, not to become critical thinkers #GTTO
