All together: "Educate good times, Come on!"

So with a mighty fanfare come those new education proposals replete with promises of more independence for schools, greater parental participation and greater involvement from the private sector. Check, check...wha?

Perhaps my education was severely impaired with it's lack of Latin lessons sponsored by Dolmio and Geography brought to you by Crayola. Aren't our hallowed halls of learning meant to be a haven from such corporate pressures?

I like the idea of greater school independence. National curricula stifle creativity and breed morons. But why ruin it Tone?
