So the primary school my youngest goes to has sent a newsletter out saying the head of the school has been replaced and yadda yaddaed into wanting to make the school an academy and join some kind of trust. There's a meeting with parents coming up about it, I know this Academy poo poo is bad but anyone know any decent Correct resources I can take along that show that actually private profiteering running a school is loving poo poo?

For all the talk about how with a heavy heart you must vote Lib Dem I think it's important to remember what the Lib Dems actually do when given a modicum of responsibility . https://twitter.com/caoilfhionnanna/status/1187332934623256576 Jo Swindon voted for this 11 times.

The National Schools Commissioner is seeking to address this by a programme of pilot ‘MAT growth checks’. quote:Academies, including free schools, are directly accountable to the Secretary of State for Education, while all other state funded schools are accountable to local authorities. Both are inspected by Ofsted. Ultimately, DfE is accountable for the overall performance of the school system in England. But there's not many primary school academies compared to secondary school academies, so we don't really know a great deal about how that might work out (that might be an argument in itself).

Hi folks, I self identify as a marketing category and just thought I'd drop by to say, The Man On The Left Is Bad. I hope we can have a civil discussion about my complex and nuanced opinion. Who knows - if you're polite enough, maybe you'll turn me into a "leaning strongly one way or another"! I await your arguments.

All my family except me work in education, and their view is that academisation is unavoidable, you need to make the best of it. The slight upside is that generally the academies are focussed on secondaries, and at the primary where my sister is head the academy management largely stay out of the way. Still very poo poo but tbh I think you're onto a loser trying to oppose it.

OwlFancier posted:I mean personally I don't share that position so, I'm not really going to suggest that you'd be doing anything wrong working there, but equally that's something that really only you can answer? Are you going to experience a drop in your quality of life because working there makes you feel bad? JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Sounds like you're perfect for the job really - the agricultural industry should be full of people who give a poo poo about animal welfare. Sure you might not want the industry to exist at all, but if it must, wouldn't you want to be a part of making it the best it can be? Purple Prince posted:Nothing wrong with doing this for a couple of months and jumping ship as soon as you find something that is better aligned with your morals. Because morals are a luxury that goes down the drain very fast as your quality of life and bank account diminish, and at least this way you’re not desperate. Aramoro posted:I would always say don't take a job that you'll be unhappy to roll out of bed to do in the morning. Go for the interview but if you don't feel they're taking the animal welfare aspect seriously then walk away from it as that's the only redeemable part of the job to you. Ratjaculation posted:Sort of similar situation that may or may not help. Guavanaut posted:I mean you're profiting from the industrial use/abuse of animals just by existing in the UK and making use of UK public services, so it's not like that'd be any more or less so just from working at a dairy company out of necessity as long as you're not going to start taking milk baths. Thank you for your opinions. My own belief came close to the overall consensus raised here. I wanted your perspective to make sure I wasn't just rationalizing a potentially unethical decision. I'll go to the interview. Maybe they indeed can use someone who wants to detect animal mishandling, and not only wants to increase milk productivity or w/e.

Labour would be well advised to collaborate. Jeremy Corbyn and his disjointed band of remainers, half-leavers, soft-Brexiters and second-coming referendum-ers, have been wrongfooted at every turn. They should now concentrate on one thing, minimising the cost of Brexit to the economy. Their task should be to soften its impact. Now to stand in its way would see them massacred at the polls.

Hi, I work in a related area. Academies can set their own policies (regular schools get them from the local authority) which are almost always worse for the teachers. If the teachers are overworked, underpaid, and liable to be 'legally' mistreated then its the students who have to eat poo poo right along with them. This results in high turnover, unhappy staff, etc.

Commentari... Dammit! quote:The polls at the moment have given cheer to the Conservatives, but to my mind false cheer. The latest put the party on about 34 per cent and Labour eight points behind on 26 per cent. The psephologist Sir John Curtice suggests that this could give Boris a majority in the House of Commons by the slenderest of margins. But that is to ignore geographical factors, the role of the Brexit party and the volatility of the electorate. The Tories may indeed be shoring up their vote in seats they already possess, but there is no evidence whatsoever that they have the ability to gain seats in the north-east and north-west of England. The Brexit party is still well into double figures in the polls; for its threat to the Tories to be largely redundant this figure needs to fall to 5-6 per cent, and it shows no signs of doing that. Furthermore, those voters who do decamp from the Brexit party will return to the Tories only in those areas where they don’t need them. Following the pattern of the decamped Ukip vote in 2017, former Brexit party voters in areas away from the south-east of England will more likely return to their habitual Labour (or even Lib Dem, paradoxically) berths.
