Educashun, Educashun, Educashun

I came across this story originally in the print version of the Evening Standard last week.

Mary Bousted, the leader of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers has been making a few waves with her assertion that schools shouldn't be teaching facts like what happened in 1066, but should take up a skills-based curriculum, just like in Sweden.

I tell you what, if you let us have school vouchers, like they do in Sweden, we'll let you dumb down the kids teach life skills in  state schools.
