We need to stop treating schools like a political football and actually support teachers, not just make grand announcements
It always gets me how every new government, every new minister, thinks they’ve found the magic bullet for schools. They come in, announce some grand plan — often something totally disconnected from what teachers actually deal with day to da
Electing police commissioners? What a joke. Time to get rid of them.
Why are we electing politicians to oversee the police in the first place? It’s just another layer of bureaucracy and political posturing that doesn’t make anyone safer. The whole system is a mess, and this latest development just proves it.
Fund Schools Not Egos
I propose that we introduce a new law that requires all politicians to publish a fully costed and detailed education policy before they can run for office, so we can see exactly what they plan to do with our schools. This is needed becaus
Teach the Whole Story in Schools
I've been thinking about the way we teach history in schools and I think we need to make sure we're giving kids a proper understanding of our past, the good and the bad. I'm not saying we should be ashamed of what we've done, but we should
Why are we still arguing about basic decency a decade on?
You see these stories about Jo Cox's sister talking about common ground. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? We're a country that supposedly prides itself on politeness and community, yet we seem to be more divided than ever. It's like we've f
Why Are We Still Paying For Kids To Memorise Useless Facts?
Seriously, why are we forcing kids to memorise dates or the exact population of Botswana when they can look that up in two seconds on their phone? It’s like teaching someone to churn butter when we have electric mixers. We're not preparing
Scrap Free Uni for Rich Kids
I think we should stop giving free university tuition to kids from rich families, it's a waste of taxpayer money. We need to focus on helping ppl who actually need it, like low income families who can't afford to send their kids to uni. Rig
Decolonise History Lessons Now
I'm tired of hearing politicians talk about the glory days of the British Empire like it's something to be proud of. As a junior doctor I see the impact of systemic inequality every day, and it's rooted in our history. We need to teach kids
Why are we still teaching Welsh history like a footnote in England's story? Time to fix this.
Seriously, why are we still forcing kids to learn about the Norman conquest of England before they can even tell you who Owain Glyndŵr was? It’s like we expect them to understand the foundations of their own country before they’ve even been
Teach Scotland's Story, Not Just Britain's
I think it's time we took a step back and looked at how we're teaching history in Scotland's schools. The current curriculum can be a bit too focused on the UK as a whole, rather than Scotland's unique experience. We need to make sure our k
Environmental Ed: Get Biz On Board
I was talking to a colleague who's got kids in school and she was saying how they're not really learning about the practical side of environmental issues, like how businesses can make a difference. It's all about theory and not enough about
Stop Wasting Kids' Time With Eco-Claptrap, Focus On Real Skills
Yeah I read that bit about teachers fighting to get climate change lessons in. Honestly, I reckon they’ve got bigger things to worry about. Kids leaving school should know how to do a proper job, not just how to hug a tree. My mate Dave’s l
Teach Britain's Real Story
I'm fed up with the way history is taught in schools, it's all about what we did wrong, never what we did right. I've had customers coming into the DIY store, real people, talking about how their kids are being taught to be ashamed of Brita
Schools are teaching kids to hate Britain. Time to fix it.
Why are we letting schools fill kids' heads with guilt about history instead of pride? Seems like every other week there's some new curriculum point about how terrible this country is. It’s madness. Kids should be learning about the good th
make environmental ed compulsory already
i was talking to a friend who's a teacher and she was saying how she had to fight to get a single lesson on climate change into the curriculum, it's ridiculous that kids aren't being taught about the most pressing issue of our time. she had
Scrap Tuition Fees Already
What's the point of having a supposedly free education system if you're just going to saddle students with a load of debt the minute they graduate, I mean it's not like we're made of money or anything. My proposal is to scrap tuition fees a
Scrap University Tuition Fees Already
I think it's time we scrapped university tuition fees for good, it's a no-brainer that they're pricing out kids from poorer backgrounds and it's just not right. The current system is basically a tax on learning and it's putting people off g
Sort Out Childcare Costs Already
what's the point of government-funded childcare if people are still getting stung with hidden costs, it's like they're just trying to look good without actually doing anything, you know. I think we should just make all childcare costs tra
Teachers aren't therapists: We need proper mental health pros in every Scottish school, not more pressure on staff.
Why do we keep pretending teachers can be everything to everyone? We're expected to be educators, social workers, and now, increasingly, mental health counsellors, all while managing a classroom and preparing lessons. It’s simply not sustai
Why are we still letting kids leave school without knowing how to actually manage money?
Seriously, what’s the logic behind marching teenagers through years of quadratic equations and Shakespearean sonnets but never a single lesson on budgeting, mortgages, or taxes? It’s madness. We're setting them up to fail financially before
