Ha ha ha, for a second there I thought that Ofsted were including in their judgements whether a 4 year old child was sitting 'properly' to write. Because to reduce the complexities of a whole school's teaching provision to something like this would be fucking ludicrous..

We spoke to a grandmother at Valley school about why she is supports @neunion members on strike over the introduction of a 'virtual teacher'.
“School's about relationship and community. Virtual teachers are the thin end of the wedge.”
