Yes, you said a large number of occupants of staff rooms were almost communists, that a large number are unionised and the unions links to communism are well known and the Left has taken over state schools.

I confess that as someone with experience of various staff rooms and two teaching unions I don't recognise any of that as a valid description.

I think he's got 'socialism' and 'communism' mixed up a bit. Never mind eh.

Not that I've got experience of these teaching unions though. But as far as I can see from the union I'm mixed up with (oh yes you might have guessed it) it's full of people that actually seem to care about the welfare of other people rather than having the 'I'm alright Jack' attitude of Certain Other Organisations. Can't have people like that teaching our children. I'd much prefer ex-soldiers or something sensible like that (and they're good at the corporal punishment too, and can shout loudly. What more do you need to be a teacher, surely. Don't know how good their Latin is, mind).

(thank you for your encouraging words Nigel. We can stand on top of a barrow and threaten them with tomatoes if they get too serious)

I feel it may be a case of not being able to see the wood for the trees.

I feel it's almost impossible to argue that there hasn't been a huge lurch to the left in our schools in the last few decades, about the same time that's seen discipline removed and behavioural standards fall off a cliff.

But no problem, we'll amicably agree to disagree then.
