@Rebecca_SPaul Think you're projecting your own values and beliefs there.
There should be paths available to those that aren't academic, without stigma or judgement.
Education should be for everyone, however and whatever they need to learn.
@andyburnham Great to wake up to positive news for a change!!
This is what we all need! A bit of positivity and optimism, and a few short term wins and quick fixes alongside the long term planning.
Keep it up, Andy!
@DanNeidle Lots of this generation reevaluated post covid - reducing hours, switching careers, or simply retiring early. Priorities have changed massively in the last decade...
@MatthewStadlen Just been watching the BBC circus outside Downing Street. Heckling various MPs, with no response from any. This is pure spectacle, not scrutiny. Totally pointless and unedifying - and to what end???
@matthewsyed Just watching the BBC circus outside Downing Street. Heckling and screeching at assorted MPs, to no effect. It's not journalism, it's hysteria. Spectacle rather than scrutiny.
@I_amMukhtar The thing that struck me most watching this... was just how insecure and unhappy these boys are... and preying on younger boys, more insecure and unhappy even than themselves.
@bphillipsonMP What a shame. I would love to see primary schools freed of the pressures of SATS..... Primary education should be about so much more than passing tests.
