Is there any part of the education system that this man does not wish to completely obliterate?

I mean I can understand his idea, but the I don't think the introduction of longer days and shorter holidays are going to help students. The 6 weeks at the end of the school year is a well needed break in my opinion. it allows you to have a nice breather in between the school years rather than a constant torrent of work which would inevitably just burn you out. Especially when you consider the insane amount of exam preparation lumped upon pupils in their final years during the ending of the school year. The stress that causes is more than enough cause for long breaks.

A lot of the time I feel as if Gove is making change for his own ideological sake rather than for the pupils. Everything he's tried to implement has been so archaic and idiotic. I can't stand him.
