clearly a couple of mates who've made this video and posted it on youtube, nothing that doesn't happen across the world. The only thing is, this one's in our government.
I thought you meant the garden of England, Kent. He and his mates are all over Rochester at the moment promising wondrous things to try and win the election there. As usual they think we are mugs, but I suspect that their behaviour is likely to drive even more people towards UKIP.
The man is a moron and to think that that idiot was put in charge if our children's education makes me really angry.
Except he managed to raise standards further than at any time in 20 years. And I hate the man
Bizarre suggestion, with no evidence.
Have you been delivering the new GCSE English syllabus then? Or understood why the amount of coursework that has been removed from courses? Or the increase in BTEC options and the real drive to increase apprenticeship uptake? OK then, it may be an arguable statement (rather than bizarre), but even the most rabid anti gove teacher - and I have to listen to a couple of them every weekend, accept that there has been incresased rigour in the nature of exam courses and more options for those who are less academic and more practical.
Can't recall hearing about any other drive since the mid 1990's, can you?
If you've found an English teacher who rates Gove, then that is an impressive achievement. His goal of getting teenage boys to appreciate Jane Austin hasn't gone down that well, generally.
From the BBC today "Fewer pupils got five go od GCSEs, including English and maths, this year than last year, amid major changes to the exams system.
Some 52.6% of pupils in England reached the government's new five A*-C benchmark, official statistics show.
When a bigger range of vocational exams and all GCSE entries were included in this measure of school accountability, 59.2% of pupils made the grade in 2013.
Officials said major reforms made it hard to compare results year on year.
These include a move to cut thousands of vocational qualifications from school performance measures and the decision that only a student's first attempt at a GCSE will count in the league tables.
This last move was aimed at reducing the number of pupils repeatedly taking GCSEs when they were not ready."
Also, I see that they claim to have created 1.8 million extra apprenticeships during this parliament the biggest expansion in apprentices since the 1950s.

Really?
You are a primary school teacher.
A flag?
Has there been a sense of humour by-pass?
