"schools are heading towards mass bankruptcy and the only government plan for solving it is optimism."

Coupled with a massive teacher recruitment and retention crisis that the DfE refuses to acknowledge, and Theresa May set on wasting millions of pounds, and (just as, and possibly even more important) people's time and energy on the vanity project that is grammar schools, does anyone have any faith in the government to sort this out?

Oh and the stress that the current system puts students and staff under is also contributing to the NHS burden - mental health issss at unprecedented levels in both.
