Re: Michael Gove Pledges 10-Hour School Days - February 7th 2014, 05:52 PM

Oh, come on, he's a moron and everyone knows it.
The whole education system in this country is a worsening mess, and teachers are doing their best to prop it up and give children what they can to get somewhere in life.

I don't think Gove actually solely went to a public school, but I have no idea why anyone's keeping him in his position.

10-hour days are not happening. They won't make anything better, and although Mr. Gove may not be aware of it, it would drive teachers' free time down to approximately 4 and a half picoseconds per year.

In addition to this, I would be highly critical of the system's measuring methods (he claims things are improving, simply by moving the goalposts), especially exams.
We are not educated in anything but exam technique. Lovely as this is, it's worth nothing to us.
As a classmate of mine summed it up:
Quote:
Good qualifications should be as a result of education; at the moment, 'education' is as a result of learning qualifications
I could go on.

But, whatever, Michael Gove is an imbecile, and everyone knows it.


Skittlify me up...
