I doubt if many parents or children (and users of other public services)are buying into this nonsense, but it makes life harder for those who are working hard and doing their best...Jane McLoughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560284790806029134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267022786232162457.post-23050302367074016822012-02-03T08:12:47.367-08:002012-02-03T08:12:47.367-08:00I don't know how teachers do it.

For all the media and political grumbling, all the teachers I know are hard-working. After all, why the hell would you get into the profession unless you loved it?<br /><br />Anyway, despite it all, glad to hear you had a nice day in the classroom!Anne M Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547591113801578453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267022786232162457.post-3467994421822910402012-02-03T03:22:12.285-08:002012-02-03T03:22:12.285-08:00Well said, Jane!

They need to be left alone to teach not jump through government policy hoops.Paula Rawsthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111751819969220668noreply@blogger.com
