By Gove:Not just 2 for a £....I'll give you 4

My first explaination is that by halving human contact (a) there will no doubt be certain essential staff who will be much more busy (b) clients who need 'specialised' help, and have specialised issues will find it harder to be heard and their needs catered for.(c) it comes from the point of view that staff are not valued in the first place and are not doing their jobs prpoerlyi.e if you get rid of the inefficient ones and only have efficient workers (if in fact the DfE are capable of making this cut logistically) all will be well ....(d) the DfE does not CARE about the time it might take for a member of the public to get processed

People who negotiate with Michael Gove say what a charming man he is. It's the complete and utter rubbish that he speaks that is the problem. And he doesn't listen to the other aside. He has yet to set foot in a LEA run state school.

According to Michael Pyke (Campaign for State Education), in a letter to the Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...=ILCNETTXT3487), before Kenneth Baker's 1988 Education Reform Act, the education secretary had just three powers over schools (removal of wartime air raid shelters, managing numbers in teacher training and opening/closing schools). Baker increased these powers to 250 but Gove has now has more than 2,000.

HOW ON EARTH did this f**kwit become in charge of Education
and seemingly SO ignorant of more or less anything to do with it ?
WHY are the teachers he meets such poodles ?
Given that there is no point in trying to discuss with such a closed mind do you have any suggestions of what to do ?

If you look at the allocation for training music teachers

you can see what is planned for music
in spite of all the deluded nonsense around the NPME it's clear that this bunch of philistines are set in their plan to destroy arts education
