Thankyou cherie, it's about de professionalising teaching... of course there will be those who spout the usual 'all the 'holidays' they get rubbish....
Soon you will only be able to get a decent education if you pay for it, and 'free' schools will be for those that can't, staffed with 'teachers' with an NVQ.
How many kids will get to university with a system like that? Only the elite.
