Sorry, can't link! The headline was something like 'Letting the lunatics run the asylum'...But the gist is the Education minister thinks that children as young as 8 should be sitting on panels to interview prospective teachers. WHAT? Now, I have no problem with school councils with pupil involvement, I have no problem with the DCs views on appropriate discipline being taken into account when a school sets its policy (though I gather DCs are MUCH harsher!), but where are the DCs qualifications for assessing a teacher's competence to teach? Til I can be shown those, I will expect the governors and the head teacher to select who teaches MY DCs, thanks!
I should add that I'm opposed to 'parent led education' and 'patient led NHS', too!

Can you BELIEVE this idea that DCs should be on teacher interview panels? Seen in the w/e papers!
