Soon all parents in England – those of us who can’t afford schools like Eton anyway – will be forced to send our children to one of the academy schools run by Cameron’s fat cat mates.
Cameron has, by the way, very nicely allowed his chums in charge of academies to employ any unqualified Tom, Dick or Harry to look after our children. They’re cheaper you see.
And our PM has also scrapped any official lines of complaint should parents be concerned, worried or even outraged by the treatment of their children at an academy school:
This is what happens when you try to hold an academy school to account… good luck parents
Which means Cameron’s mates can more or less do what they like with our kids and there’s nothing any parent can do about it.
I have only one question about all of this.
WHY ARE PARENTS IN ENGLAND NOT DOING MORE TO STAND UP FOR THEIR CHILDREN? ARE THEY ALL TOO SCARED OF CAMERON AND HIS BULLINGDON BULLIES?

If this was a Labour government carrying-out this kind of high-handed ldeologically-driven ‘policy’ our useless media would never stop issuing condemnatory comments. When are we going to demand a proper electoral system which would not allow minority governments to impose their pet ideas on the rest of us? Coalitions reflect the way in which the majority vote.

Because we are now living in totalitarian UK, WHERE we have no power, not even our law can be enforced.
All public services, are now ripped off for maximum profit with no accountability, the perfect business model.
And see here, what is happening with our disabled children, particularly the deemed learning disabled, now huge cash cows.

Get your facts right Mr. Pride – It wasn’t Cameron and the Tories, it was Blair and New Labour.
The real question is why the electorate in England have repeatedly voted in general elections to allow privatisation of schools and the NHS, whilst the electorate in Scotland have repeatedly voted to defend them against privatisation.

Well said.
We have had no real politics, or democracy, since Blair third way. new Labour.
Now carried on by Cameron and co, who are not Tories, but third way, who are enforcing the third way master plan, to rip the whole country off for unaccountable profit.

Bollocks Finkfurst. Blair hasn’t been PM for nearly a decade. New Labour is history. And obsessing about New Labour is one reason Cameron is being left off the hook. Changing all schools to academies is all Cameron’s doing. Time to get up to date, put Blair behind us and face up to what is happening now.

What’s more, teachers from outside the EU will be expelled because teachers’ wages are insufficient to meet the criteria for working here.

Thinking outside the box, what do all but the inner city schools have in abundance?
Then think about the the government’s sneaky announcement on the potential privatisation of the land registry.. Do these two policies with no apparent connection in fact actually gel together?
Most schools have wonderful playing fields… Wonderful, un built on playing fields….
Is that actually part of the motivation? The prime land up for grabs?
Lord knows this government is packed full of carpetbaggers after all.

Scotland has a different and possibly even worse problem: the “Named Persons”
scheme whereby every child from the womb to aged 18 will have a named person – probabaly your health visitor or a teacher – the powers of whom may exceed that of parents. It is all in the name of ‘child protection’ and the NP is compulsory. The STASI would have been proud to have conceived this outrageously intrusive scheme.

My problem as a parent is that I don’t know how to do anything about it. I’m not scared, I’m stumped. Complaining on social media and signing petitions isn’t doing it. What can we do? I’m about to try and pull my child out of the new SAT’s.

Believe me, I know what you mean. My daughter is serving time in an ‘outstanding’ academy.
The standard & content of education is appalling. The main teacher occupation is issuing detention for the heinous crime of forgetting your pencil (I’m not exaggerating).
It is intent on ramming ‘sexual health’ at young children as often as it can incorporate it into lessons and delights in what I can only describe as indoctrination.
As a parent, don’t even think about raising a complaint. It will be treated with contempt and you will be patronised mercilessly by these superior beings masquerading as educators.
Speaking as one who attended a large, happy and successful comprehensive I can confidently say my education was 100% superior to that which my daughter is receiving and my knowledge base was much broader at her age.
I left with excellent qualifications and went on to a very good career. The academy, ‘outstanding’ of course to which I refer managed one average grade physics A level.
It can only get worse.

Lots of parents are standing up to the system by home educating but it’s not the easiest option and it’s not necessarily for everyone. It either means a family needs to be able to live on one income, or to be resourceful and co-operative about part-time work. Nor is it isolating – I home educated our daughter throughout the time she would have been at secondary school and we met dozens of other families, not just locally but from seven different surrounding counties, and many remain friends some years later. For us it meant a commitment to real education, not just the national curriculum (which is not compulsory for HE families) although we did maintain a certain amount of focus on ‘traditional’ English (which I was confident in facilitating) and maths (which I’m not, so we mostly covered that by means of structured online programmes and a tutor shared with three other families). Lots of families home educate from choice from the beginning (and, contrary to what people might think, there’s nothing wrong with these kids’ social skills) but we came to it later through necessity as our daughter had learning difficulties and was struggling, and we just couldn’t get things ironed out with the school. A 10-year-old who is stressed enough to be self-harming is no joke. She chose to go to college at 16 and hopes to go on to uni, so it’s worked out well for her and many of her HE ‘peers’ have followed a similar route. When we started years ago, we met other families through Yahoo groups but these days they’re all on Facebook. We still sometimes miss the projects my daughter used to do on big sheets of A0 paper on the lounge floor, and how one topic would lead to another and another and another. Once the pressure of test-learning is off and they know they can follow their interests wherever they lead, you can’t stop them learning, even if they do sometimes seem to spend most of their time on the internet. The one thing we had to watch out for was our treacherous LA Ed Dept, who are allowed to make enquiries and would have loved us to believe that the full national curriculum was compulsory and that we were obliged to allow them to conduct home visits and show them samples of work – fortunately we did our research beforehand, kept all communications in writing and rebutted any attempts at ultra vires action. We’d definitely do it all over again if we could turn back the clock – in fact, I wouldn’t have left her in school so long if I’d known how well it could work.
