The UK government is now after the grammar schools

I am furious with this story. I shot off this comment. (PS: my son does and will attend a state school!)

Pathetic, we are all concerned about education in the UK, and this current government and the conservatives are playing silly buggers with schooling. Damage state schools? How? Look at the evidence, you blithering idiots, you have forced curriculumns which do not match what the market and world wants, you have forced teachers not to motivate teachers, you have forced house prices so high that school catchment areas are now biased radically, you have managed to force a wonderful education system to the knees and then you are piling on parents who want the best for their children. And then to top it all, you politicians send your children to private schools? YOU are a bunch of hypocrites.

I am very upset with these politicians. A pox on all of them!

All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!!

Every revolution targets the children.

Have you noticed how many programmes there are which are aimed at kids, from the DFeS, the hundreds of quangos, no child left behind policies etc etc etc.

It has nothing what so ever to do with what we would call classic education, i.e. the 3R's, geography, history etc.

It is about political indoctrination, this is building the next generation of socialist thinkers, a generic generation.

I have listed some of them in my article here.
