Teachers: Are Gove and Cameron listening?

[MrGongGong]

So the new National Curriculum for music in England was published last week
and starts with the sentence

"Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity"

eeeer NO IT BLOODY ISN'T a "universal language" (even though Transglobal Underground say so on the track "Temple Head" !)


What hope is there when we have nonsense such as this ?

Jon Savage has some interesting things to say (as always)

Michael Gove just pwned Will Self on Question Time - masterful!

I'm changing my opinion of him, he's really on the money.

That obviously makes him a politician to be taken seriously.

I turned it off when I saw his face
My blood pressure wont take it
I wish he would just go away, somewhere where he can't cause any more damage

Increasingly so. he's really growing into his job.

Now you mention it, I seem to remember that you have previously mentioned his perceived short-comings! ;-)

How far into the programme is that?

I'd like to see it, if only to find out what pwned means.

How did I know you'd say that! ;-)

Thanks.

To see if I agree with your assessment I still need to know how much of the programme to scroll past - the alternative is to watch the lot or take your word for it, neither of which appeals.

because you have to recognise a truth nugget when one lands on your laptop.

Public sector managers are rationers of resources, not enablers of provision, in the main.

Not necessarily a development to give him comfort.
