Ms Average, are you sure Gove actually went to private school? I thought he was state educated? (not that I 'm accusing you of prejudice)

longfingernails · 13/05/2012 23:47

The teachers who are whining are becoming caricatures of themselves - they are so far to the left that even Dave/Davina Spart would say steady on...

Those who actually relish competition with other schools, those who want their individual talents for inspiring children rewarded and their useless (invariably socialist) colleagues kicked out, those who believe exams have been dumbed down beyond recognition, those who want a return to discipline in schools - those teachers will all be fine, and indeed, they will thrive.

The Gove free schools and academies will forced bog standard local comprehensives to either improve or shut. Fewer children will be forced to make do with a crap education as envisaged by the left/the teaching unions. More snap inspections by OFSTED will certainly help the cause too.

If Christine Blower is bleating, then it is strong evidence that Gove and Wilshaw are on the right path. And the more Christine Blower bleats, the happier that those of us who truly care about quality of education (as opposed to the Labour policy of pandering to producer interests in the teaching profession) become.

That's lovely LFN, I'd hate to think he didn't have any friends.

Fennel · 13/05/2012 20:57

Yes.

longfingernails · 13/05/2012 18:58

I fully support Sir Michael Wilshaw as head of OFSTED too.

does the pope shit in the woods?

I stomped up to a colleague's desk on Friday for a good anti-Grove vom-fest. (We're not teachers.)

Anniegetyourgun · 13/05/2012 15:07

Funny, I always thought longfingernails was a genuine right-winger with rather strong views. At last I've twigged, he/she must have been teasing all along. I mean, the Gove creature "urbane and witty", or a good ambassador for anything? My irony detector went off like the Five Minute Warning.

Gove is a... a... a THING. And I'm not even a teacher.

breadandbutterfly · 13/05/2012 14:52

No, OP, you're not alone.

MsAverage · 13/05/2012 10:57

Gove for me is a good example of a negative consequences of private school system as ruling elites factory. Shallow recruitment pool forces system to pick up astonishing idiots for the positions they would never ever ever get if they did not have the wonderful vowels and ballooning self-confidence.

Sometimes I have the same feeling when I read major newspapers or watch BBC programmes: how this idiot finagled into this job? For some reason, such a feeling rarely kicks in among IT and finance professionals. Just saying.

ravenAK · 13/05/2012 02:21

I work on the principle that if I ignore him long enough, eventually he'll go away.

Not sure if we ever got our bible, although even the Head agreed that when we did he'd be removing the vanity publishing foreword, punching a hole through the relevant pages, & hanging them up in the staff toilet for us to peruse at our leisure.

longfingernails · 13/05/2012 01:40

The Gove reforms are the single best thing to happen in this government. He is a superb ambassador for education.

And personally, he strikes me as rather urbane and witty.

No you are not alone, Gove is a vomit-inducing lizard. Envy

But what is it that is so unutterably vile? He makes my flesh crawl. Has he got a lisp? I wish Spitting Image could have done a version of him. Just 2 huge lips. Ugh

Just graduated as a teacher - I'll repeat what I said on an earlier thread:

He is an Utter Cunt.

NorfolkNChance · 11/05/2012 21:50

What Coops said.

Coops79 · 11/05/2012 21:48

I'm a teacher. OF COURSE he makes me want to vomit. And throw things at him.

Lifeissweet · 11/05/2012 21:45
