OT New tax coming.

That decision has been taken from them. Cameron wants to spend it on affordable housing.

Affordable=3Duneconomic in my book. Uneconomic=3D losing money=3Dno pension left.

Politicians just love spending other people's money. I thought it was a socialist thing but apparently not.

Having none experts managing specialist orgamisations is a recipe for disaster. Worst of al is to get a bean counter in.

Accountants ruin industry. Take our car industry. Ruined by accountants. They would ruin schools too. Accountants should never be put in charge of anything.

Everyone will be poorer in the immediate future. Especially people on pensions. See what is happening in Greece. Could happen here thanks to New Labour.

However, they probably come into the "experienced teacher" category.

The only accountants who fit that description are working in whatever the Department of Education is called this week. The ones working in schools have a valuable job claiming all the allowances the school is entitled to, and eking out the meagre funds left after you've paid the wages bill.

"Affordable" is jargon for "run by a housing association".

I agree that any loans to such organisations to build more housing stock should be done at a commercial rate. If they subsequently make a loss on the rental income, there are various grants they can fall back on.

that from the wholefood store in town at at least 1/2 their price. None of the biscuits we normall have are listed, neither is there a sensible range of fresh vegetable or bog standard bread. So even if they do deliver to here, they don't have anything we actauly want to buy.

Ah. That would explain your lack of social skills. Isolating yourself from your peers at that age is not the way to achieve them.

I didn't isolate myself from my peers. I isolated myself from school. Hint: that's not the same thing.

You know fifty teachers? I can think of some teachers who probably don't know another 49 - or at least not well enough to make a valid judgment about them. Not that I'd expect such minor realities having an effect on your obvious prejudices.

Your 'experience' doesn't make it so for everyone.

I don't think that he was suggesting that he knew 50 to name to you.

(given his posting on the subject) ISTM quite likely he thinks that he can nominate them randomly.

Quite. Which makes the statement quite simply a blatant lie.

The one thing near everyone has is direct experience of teachers at one time in their lives. I dunno what sort of school Firth went to to make him say all are useless. Probably says more about him.

Both my parents were teachers, and neither brought any work home (although my dad tended not to get back until dinner time).

It does depend to some extent on what ages (of student) and what subjects.
