Can It?
I know I said there would be an end but on occasion I come across things that I cannot believe and although this is definitely not Academy related I cannot get my head around it.
After a few requests to keep something open for people to share comments and discuss them seen as how the Evening Mail is heavily censored and adds the same comments to every new piece of Academy propaganda... here it is.
And now the end is near...
A post I have nicked from a blog I follow daily.
Comes this story which very succinctly shows what is happening in our state schools even though the post features an American college...
This is a perfect example of what is wrong with Britain's education system, in my humble opinion.
Thanks to commenter Eric I took a tootle over to TES jobs and lo and behold I found...
The North Western Evening Mail is being partisan in what it will and won't publish. That is one thing a majority can all agree on. It supports the people behind the Academy no matter what. It exhibits the same blind faith in Mr Woodcock and never misses an opportunity to allow Furness Academy Limited or Mr Woodcock space in its pages.
I have known for some time that it censors comments for no apparent reason and it refuses to print letters sent in by certain individuals no matter what the content.
Bearing in mind what is going to unfold in the coming days I thought it would be worth nicking the excellent Rafael Behrs glossary of what political terms really mean. They are not all applicable to the Academy fiasco that is rapidly unravelling but a surprising number are!
Is this the qualification that was taken by certain schools destroyed to manufacture the Furness Academy Limited?
If it was it might explain a lot.
Personally I think the CVA scoring system is just obfuscation and serves no other purpose.
League tables of numbers of kids passing GCSE's or five passes inc Maths and English are next to useless. Surely any form of education, state, private, home, higher or lifelong learning has to have value for the individual or there is no point to any of it unless you subscribe to the socialist model of indoctrination to ensure the "right sort" of model citizen pops out at the other end.
