What kind of schools do we need?

The Government wants to see more faith schools but, in a recent poll of headteachers, only 9% agreed with this policy.
The Government wants to see more academy schools but, in the same survey, only 7% of headteachers backed such establishments.
You can see more information on the survey here. I think that the headteachers are right and that the Government should listen to the professionals.

    Government listen to the professionals? Well, if England is anything like America in that regard, don’t hold your breath! Everyone, it seems, knows how to do our job but us!

    My sister was once a teacher, Dana, so I’m in favour of listening to the professionals.
