So the government is going to turn education upside down again. Please let the teachers get on with teaching and stop moving the goal posts!!! Yes, I think it is a good thing to raise standards in education but you need to know about how the changes will impact in practical terms and the best way to implement them. I think the Education Minister should have to have been a teacher (a good one, however they define that) and preferably a headteacher. It is much more important that they have experience of leading schools than that they are an MP.  Sorry - end of rant :)
