http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25686208As I understand it, teacher numbers are low as it is. And I'd love to know if Labour genuinely has plans for 'updating skills' (whatever the feck that means), or if it's just another attempt at voter popularity knowing how well talk of education plays.

I've often said that what the profession needs is more bureaucracy and stacks of paperwork, to be completed in your own unpaid time.

More bureaucracy and pointless paperwork meaning teachers have less time for teaching.

So that soon teaching assistants will need degrees, as they fill in for teachers?  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

So, what happened to the General Teachers Council, to which every teacher had to belong? No membership, no work. That was a Labour initiative that was supposed to up the image of the profession?
It shut down because it cost too much to run.

They tried something similar when they were in office and it got shot down so why try again now?
There should be a way of getting rid of bad teachers but are there really that many?

This basically sounds like revalidation that doctors have to undergo. It's a load of crap since often the best clinicians struggle but it doesn't stop a crap doctor from being crap.

Yes. Yes, there are, and getting rid of them is nigh on impossible. Sent from my big ass Sony Xperia Z Ultra tabphonelet, using Tapatalk 4. _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now. Promise
