Education is a tool of the DfE - we, the teaching profession, have no ownership, no trust and no morale. We are on the floor and yet we keep going because there is no coordinated response from us. We have allowed ourselves to become bullied and battered and yet still we keep going.
Even in the current crisis… the Media is reporting that Unions and the Children’s Commissioner are saying that schools “...could open again soon." (Guardian and Independent) and every Government official says “Schools are closed!”
SCHOOLS ARE NOT CLOSED , SCHOOLS ARE OPEN!
They always have been open and they will stay open, looking after the vulnerable, feeding the poorer children in society, putting themselves and their families on the line for the children!
This has to stop.
#ChangeEducation2020 has been started to do just this - stop what is wrong, give educators control over education and - ultimately - do what is best for children of all ages. Our aims are high, yet achievable. You can support us, join us and spread the work using the following platforms:
