A teacher attacked by Michael Gove for using Mr Men characters to help students understand the rise of Hitler has fought back, accusing the education secretary of betraying a lack of interpretation "that would make a GCSE student blush with shame".

In a blogpost on his Active History website, Tarr has drawn a mock Mr Men book in which Gove is Mr Point. It reads: "Mr Point was too lazy to read anything himself. His friends always missed the point too as they couldn't be bothered to read every word."

Tarr writes: "Gove and his advisers – either through stupidity or mischievousness – failed to place me, my website, or the lesson into its appropriate context. His criticisms betray a lack of knowledge, understanding, and interpretation that would make a GCSE history student blush with shame."
