Get everyone who's concerned about the state of our education system to support the drive to get back to educating our kids properly and stop filling their heads with the nonsense they promulgate these days.
You'd have me on your side, for starters.

It'd make all the news bulletins for which I have control and broadcast.

Enough's enough.

The problem is, are you likely to go as far as to suggest that there are a lot of teachers currently in the system who might find themselves 'moved along' due to their lack of ability and knowledge?

A lot of these sub-standard teachers got in through the back door when standards and entry marks were dropped disastrously low to boost teachers ranks back in the early to mid 80s.

Do we just shuffle the pieces around the board or address this core issue?
