I suspect that most people may not be very keen on it, but it’s something … well, you’d have to think very carefully.
“I think, actually the not for profit model has worked extremely well and we have really successful academies and academy sponsors and what we want to see is more of the best schools, more successful academies, more free schools, more university technical colleges, things that really work for students that are at the heart of the system.”
Extending this government for another year would be electorally toxic. For Dave it turns a tight race in 2015 into a meltdown in 2016.RogerOThornhill wrote:That Fixed Term Parliament's working out well I see...letsskiptotheleft wrote:http://www.theguardian.com/politics/201 ... dependence

Be fair though, none of this classroom management stuff would have come up at "teacher training college".
Totally different from the "reams of guidance" supposedly sent out by Ed Balls.
So...caretaker overtime, teacher in on a weekend...yeah, that'll go down well...One radical idea is forcing children to attend school detentions on Saturdays,
How on earth do they think that anyone could produce a textbook covering everything?Britain’s settlement by Anglo-Saxons and Scots
Examples (non-statutory) This could include:
Roman withdrawal from Britain in c. AD 410 and the fall of the western Roman Empire
Scots invasions from Ireland to north Britain (now Scotland)
Anglo-Saxon invasions, settlements and kingdoms: place names and village life
Anglo-Saxon art and culture
Christian conversion – Canterbury, Iona and Lindisfarne
It's a pile of shit. Everything about the existing law and procedure is clear and obvious. Whoever can command a majority in the commons as it stands can form a government. If Labour win in 2015 and then lose that majority after a year or so then either they'd carry on and muddle through or the opposition would call a confidence debate and if the government lost they would fall (on a simple majority - the fixed terms act only calls for an enhanced majority for a government to run for an early election by their choice) and either someone else could cobble together a majority or there would be another election.mbc1955 wrote:It's the only way they can stay in power throughout 2015.RogerOThornhill wrote:That Fixed Term Parliament's working out well I see...letsskiptotheleft wrote:http://www.theguardian.com/politics/201 ... dependence

There is nothing at all to justify postponing the election. You might have thought that the current shambles would have considered this when they agreed and legislated for the dates and terms of the referendum and a putative independence date. You might, but I wouldn't.
Scotsman - 30 Nov 2013.... a UK government spokesman said: “We have legislated for fixed-term parliaments. There is no plan to change this. "
That's the one run by Gove's mate Charlie Taylor whose school that he left was so well-managed that it fell apart when he went.Wilshaw has only met Morgan once — before the summer recess — but he has a few tasks he’d like her to tackle. As a great believer in the transformative power of good headteachers and the disastrous impact of bad ones — “the fish rots from the head” — he wants Morgan to boost the status of the National College for Teaching and Leadership. “We must ensure that we cultivate the best [head] teachers — it has really fallen into disrepair.”
Why? “I don’t think it was given the priority it should have been by the previous secretary of state.”
