It is entirely possible that there may be some MP's that don't have ulterior motives. You can understand the cynicism however.

I heard he won't come unless we re-name the city after him. The council are potentially keen on the idea.

I do find it bizarre why people like Robinson are given any publicity at all.. same with Farage (former leader of a party with precisely 0 MP's) and Hopkins. The xenophobic rubbish they pedal can incite people just as much.

It's not bias - it's seeing a group of individuals leading us down a path that benefits very few people. Leaving the EU is the biggest thing this country has done in the last 50 years. For the sake of everyone it should be led up with cross party consensus and the negotiating team should be...

At what point did I or anyone else express the view that we hated the UK? Is this how we teach tolerance and negotiation to people? By telling them that if they dare question or challenge something that they can leave?

it's not me that ever said I was going to leave....

You're talking shit.... Best outcome for the UK and best outcome for the Tory party clearly are not the same thing.

If that was the case then why is the proportion of disadvantaged and SEN students that attend grammar school significantly lower than in mainstream education? They don't aid social mobility - only hinder it.

We haven't even started and they've already got our pants down.:banghead:

You do also need to put into context that the guy is not dead and in custody... so the media have to be careful that reporting to does not affect an ongoing criminal investigation.

You've taken my quote massively out of context here... my comment on funding is still pertinent but not massively linked to the quality of a teacher, however there are some that could improve and become better if given the tools to do so. That said I generally agree with your other points. I...

I have found that parents of non-English speaking students are generally more engaged with school, especially once the language barrier has been broken down. What sometimes gets overlooked is that some of these kids are fluent in 3/4 languages - something it would be nice for our children to be...

This is the last leg in my 'Acca of Apocalypse. Brexit, Trump, Leicester, Checkatrade Trophy and then this. Then I'm gonna buy the club for myself and then formally move the entire City of Coventry away from Wasps. That'll teach them :happy:

we're gonna spank it - 100 points +

We are very lucky in our school, we have a provision where students that come to us with no English effectively have all their lessons in there until they are able to access enough of the language to go into main lessons. Quite often these are the kids that go on and thrive and do really well in...

This is the thing - we actually want to teach those in front of us... we don't want to be glorified child care. The standard of teaching can be just as good in state sector - if allowed to actually do so. Privilege and opportunity... well that's another thing entirely.

I can honestly tell you that these things are not tolerated by teachers... they are at times best managed. Now consider the factors that have had an impact on the quality of school provision. Reduction in school funding pretty much year in, year out. And before anyone rolls out the 'spending'...

Well perhaps if state education was properly funded then maybe it would perform better.... That or get some private schools to take poor kids into their roll for free. Show the state schools how to do it.... On a separate note there is virtually no governmental scrutiny of private education...

Tax havens are used because they exist...
