One Nation means silencing parents, apparently

Let’s end this disgraceful charade over academies

Rather generous to the Tories in parts, and more damning for that.

Michael Wilshaw's Speech : A Shower of Spite. http://t.co/aMtYZdDo6X via @debrakidd < This, so very much. Wilshaw's a state-sponsored bully.

Children can & will make mistakes/panic. It's ludicrous to blame teachers. As for learning marking schemes rather than the actual subject...

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

Secret Teacher seems to think children are robots who just need right programming. Sad reflection of current culture.

@labourlewis @jenipurpleness Indeed, but so heartening to hear forceful denunciation instead of lukewarm tinkering. More please!

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

@emmaannhardy @Ofstednews Hits the nail very firmly on the head. Excellent comments all round "below the line".

@TomGarrod @labourlewis No one can defend Inspiration's actions but @Rachel_deSouza? OK then. Have you spoken to @webackhewett parents?

@IanEyres @labourlewis Plenty of other ways the land could be exploited without disposing of a valuable asset.

"I want to keep ideology out of education" often seems to mean the speaker's favoured ideology is losing the argument. #Sweden #FreeSchools

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

Curious how many people who object to ideology in education have very strong ideological positions themselves when you scratch the surface.

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

@lizewil Yeah, think we're more or less agreed. Urban schools will face significant cuts, and hard to trust the motives behind it.

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

@VictoriaJaquiss And bragging about their charity donations - out of taxpayers' money given to them to educate our children! @labourlewis

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

@lizewil Predominantly, it does. School funding needs to be reviewed, but this smells bad. Hard to trust their motives.

Tory MPs push for money to be switched from urban to rural schools
http://t.co/UFFCLlXQIC
Which just happens to benefit Tory constituencies.

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

NB: If you care more about the feelings of corporatist Tory donors than the school community they're invading, you're part of the problem.

Could he replace Tristram, please?

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

Children and schools routinely treated as disposable chattels - no problem. @labourlewis speaks up and *then* people get upset, apparently.

[Parents 4 Education @Par4Ed]

@LeeDonaghy @emmaannhardy @RichardA @SchoolDuggery @labourlewis Have you done a survey? Parents tend to like a say in their school's future.
