My open letter to the Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP
Many teachers and school leaders share my concerns with regard to her decisions but are scared to say.
If you can find it in you, please RT.

I know there are still guilty men — in the police and the councils — who still need to face justice.
For example, for police officers in Rotherham, there were 265 allegations of misconduct, with 91 investigations involving 47 officers. Of those, only five suffered any penalties. Nobody was fired. Some of them were senior officers. Many have retired.
That is now my mission: to ensure that nobody involved in the mass rape and cover-up is able to get away with it.
Get involved. Get in touch. Get ready.
Phil Shiner is a modern day traitor. He paid fixers to generate evidence of industrial levels of abuse from the British Army in Iraq, made millions of pounds in the process, and has now been convicted of fraud.
In the process he destroyed the lives of some of our finest veterans like Brian, hounding them for years, aided and abetted by an inept Ministry of Defence and pathetic cohort of Senior Officers who - to this day - seem unable to park their self-interest and actually stand up for the men and women who do their bidding.
That you receive a suspended sentence for committing a multi-million pound fraud, but go to jail for posting something on Facebook, says all you need to know about this Country at the moment.
But much more importantly, today's sentence is a visceral demonstration of the patronising disdain too many in this Country still have for the lived experience of UK Veterans, something that I experienced every day for the last ten years.
Today I'm thinking of those who served their country with a level of courage and dignity these pitiful characters simply seem unable to grasp. They are the best of us. They should be proud of their service. I am.
Another late running 1828 from London Cannon Street to Tonbridge. Does this train ever run on time? Please sort the timetable, it’s obvious it needs changing. @Se_Railway
@christopherhope Disappointing so many seniors have taken a backbench seat. No automatic right to future govt role as others do hard yards of opposition. Time for the new generation to lead.
