A Message From The Headmaster

Mr Gove's Exam Timetable
Here is the new timetable for Year 11 examinations, as proposed by Head of Curriculum, Mr Gove:
1. Suggest idea for change in exam system.
2. Cause huge row.
3. Backtrack wildly.
4. Rethink idea.
5. Suggest very similar idea for change in exam system.
6. Cause another huge row.
7. Perform U-turn.
8. Revise idea.
9. Suggest another very similar idea for change in exam system.
10. Etc.
Who says Mr Gove never learns? Anyway, here's a picture of him on the naughty chair, explaining
to Year 3 the difference between the Three Rs and his elbow!

Reg, eventually you'll engage in debate rather than resorting to c&p.
I think the curriculum needs changing - do you?

Getting childfen to be able to read and write when they leave primary school is a way forward
of course there are often reasons why some don't reach these standards

In my limited view on education as iv been out of the loop for a time
children are leaving school without these 2 qualities which are needed in most walks of life
so if this is the case then the answer is yes

Keith B, correct.
Reg and Keith are simply yah boo politicians, they never offer an alternative just instinctively criticise the opposition.
They are the reason the electorate is so disillusioned

Yeah but #202 was your first instinct Keith.
You and Reg, decades of politics between you, are incapable of thinking for yourself.
After leading DDC I really don't know how Reg has the front to criticise other politicians, he sounds like a sunday morning linesman having a pop at Sir Alex

Keith let me explain.
You and Reg were paid as politicians for decades, on here all Reg can do is c&p all you can do is yah boo the tories and bleat about spoilt papers.
Neither of you has anything POSITIVE to contribute, you are the root cause of disillusioned voters. I have never asked anyone to vote for me.

David
Im not going to get heavily involved in this hes right/hes wrong yoo boo postings
You may feel you have done a great job in your life(I wouldn't know, nor am I realy interested)
All I can say its not for me to justify to you on here all that I have done over the years
Those that continued to vote me in for 25 years(and longer had I chosen to carry on) judged for themselves.

That's a fair point.
Mine point is that reading the contributions on here from you and Reg its no wonder local politicians are held in such low regard, my life good or bad has nothing to do with it, this thread is about politics.

I have zero interest in your life Keith, I know nothing of it.
This is a forum, this thread is about politics and an exchange of views, my assertion is that beyond criticising others you are incapable of forming an opinion. That is very worrying in someone who held office

#203
"I think the curriculum needs changing - do you?"
No.
It certainly does not need 'changing', a curriculum is not a suit of clothes. There is not one for rain and one for shine.
What a curriculum needs is care and attention, a curriculum absolutely needs evolution not revolution.
As WB Yeats said:Education is lighting a fire, not filling a bucket.
What I have read today of the words of MG, that children are to be readied for the future, (or some such tripe), is anything but worthwhile. He advocates that we 'teach' children to be the answer to yesterday's question. Which is entirely the wrong way to go.
This education secretary does not seem to have the slightest clue about any aspect of human development, child development, brain development. As if a (questionable) proficiency in delivering sound-bites is something worthwhile for anybody to aspire to.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

What a Plonker...............
Courtesy Independent....................
Nick Clegg braves ghosts of the past with election pledge to keep tuition fees
Decision to raise university fees to a maximum £9,000 a year provoked biggest crisis as
Lib Dem leader
Nick Clegg plans to fight the next election on a pledge to stick to the Coalition's controversial
decision to raise university tuition fees to a maximum £9,000 a year.
A Liberal Democrat policy paper, seen by The Independent, rejects calls by some of the party's
activists for fees to be cut to a maximum £6,000 a year or replaced by a graduate tax.
The report by a Lib Dem working group proposes that the £9,000 limit be retained but
reviewed by the next government.
The plan will be put to a vote at the Lib Dems' annual conference in Glasgow in September,
which has the final say on policy. It will be seen as a test of whether Mr Clegg can persuade
the Lib Dems to take the tough decisions facing a party of government.

Hes finished once we get to the election
so wont really matter
although if he goes for the £9,000 he will lose the few seats he may hold
