Why are we punishing school children?

[Notch7]

No. Academies and Free schools do not have to follow the national curriculum.

Indeed, they dont have a legal duty to do so.

the report called “Do academies make use of their autonomy?” provides the data for academies. The overall conclusion of the research was that the a large majority of academies are planning to follow the national curriculum to some extent or a great extent in all subjects and particularly in English and mathematics where only 1 per cent do not plan to do so

“Are free schools using innovative approaches?” provides the data for free schools. The overall conclusion is similar to that for academies with a large majority of free schools planning to follow the national curriculum in all the subjects that they offer and all planning to do so in English and mathematics

So, in theory yes.

In practice no.

No. Academies and Free schools do not have to follow the national curriculum.

And they are also free to employ unqualified teachers (on reduced salaries), whilst paying obscene amount to 'trustees'!

Why are we not recruiting Trained educated teachers from abroad. Our education system is less supirior to many country's who have teachers on far less of a wage and benefits.

In England, the national curriculum is not an obligation on all schools.

Not even all that are publicly funded.

Observe the word "obligation"

Some schools are not obliged to follow it.

If they choose to do something similar in some respects, that's their free choice.

Not an obligation.

There is nothing "in theory" about it.

We already do. Only those that are prepared to work here. Some even stay - for a while.

I don’t see too many. Maybe they can start teaching our kids to speak another language
I’m happy they stay for a while why don’t you hang About a bit as well ?

English would be a start.

Perhaps you should have attended more parents evenings or speak to a person that works in a school on a daily basis like I do.

What do you think a foreign teacher looks like Bodd?​

Is that a loaded question?

No. It a response to 'I don't SEE many.......People would be forgiven for thinking that you could determine who is foreign just by looking at them.
Perhaps you would be better informed if you spoke to a few.

So, what does a foreign teacher look like Bodd?

Don't bother.

You're as likely to get a truthful answer from Bodd as you would were you to ask a Brexiteer what an 'EU immigrant' actually 'looks like'

You are so right...

'Chavinese' is getting so out of control nowadays.

Along with 'Boddish'.
