  courtesy of kent online, seems that mr carter and mr gove do not see eye to eye on more than one issue.
  
  Schools have been urged to think twice before applying to become academies by the Conservative leader of Kent County Council.
  Cllr Paul Carter said extra government cash provided to schools who did convert to academies was drying up and those that now did would end up with lower budgets.
  
  He also said many of the advantages claimed for academies by the government could already be achieved by schools and warned a future government may not continue with the same policy.
  Mr Carter, who outlined his views in an end-of-term letter to Kent headteachers, acknowledged he had previously believed all schools should become academies.
  
  Kent already has 32 and a further 34 in the pipeline.
  In his letter, he said: "Over a year later, we are looking at a radically different position."
