Education's an odd one. Going by coverage in the media, what people want is good schools and nice universities for their kids, and when it comes to the curriculum, 'not this'.

Vocational courses, apprenticeships, academic rigour, compulsory sport for everyone, must be competitive, not inclusive, traditional material, relevant to the modern world, transferable skills, fronted fucking adverbials, phonics, 3 Rs, SEN for my kids because not all learning issues are obvious, that kid on the other hand is just bone idle and thick.

Indeed. Though looking on the bright side, have we got past "mixed school for my son, single sex for my daughter"?

Aditya Chakraborty has come out with "Bad Starmer, bond markets are in charge", I see.

What do these people actually want? Increasingly there's a strand of comment and left think tankery that seems to be about getting tropes in rather than solving problems.
