The Tories are saying in their manifesto that they plan to develop schools under the Swedish "free schools" and the US "charter school" models: small, autonomous schools run and set up by parents, teachers, universities, faith groups and voluntary groups.
What do you reckon? Could you find the time/energy to start a school? Would you rather attend a school run by a small autonomous group or by central government?
(Am due on BBC news 24 to discuss so your thoughts would be much appreciated)
