this effectively privatises our schools and means that the local education authority has no oversight - as far as i am concerned that's bloody insane. being "beholden" to local authorities means we can see how finances are being spent and have public accountability. you will not get that when there's no obligation of the provider to do so.
if it were some product falling through that cracks, who the hell would care, but that's some kids future.
- akhatri_aus 11y agoI had a look at this a bit more thoroughly over the past day. It's certainly not as bad as it's made out to be. I spoke to a couple of brit teachers and they say it lets them use their own teaching ideas & get more teachers (apparently no one wants to be a teacher). So i'm guessing it can improve schools dramatically as well as make them worse. It can improve them, though.
