Part of the job of teacher is as advocate and we all have the right to support our own political opinions, better still if they are based on experience. A teacher who fails to raise matters that affect the students fails them. Our education system has been shredded by and large by politicians of every shade and it is time we looked closer. I am hugely disappointed in the new government for their betrayal of young people across the nation with their insistence on reaching into their pockets to fund education, a right for all and a source of power and development. An investment, in other words.
Have a look at this, admittedly biased as it is by a Tory blogger, blog. It says a great deal about how the education system is being abused.
