Those who know me will know how strongly i feel about education, This week two news items staying in my head i and went over and over them in my mind.
The first one was this The Government is predicting a shortage of schools due to the rise in child birth over recent years.This made me slightly angry, there are schools here fighting hard to avoid the axe, we are a very rural community here and Local schools are a life line, Why close them when very soon they will need to be replaced, Why not simply invest now improving schools, Is this not also a cheaper option than starting again ???
Later in the week i read an article which appalled me about schools excluding pupils while there is an inspection simple to make the school look better than it really is, Included in this exclusion was Children with Special Needs, Why ????? Children with Special Needs bring benefit surely, they are adorable children who need special understanding not to be singled out what ever happened to Equality ??
