Laura Trott says some teaching is “propaganda that’s brainwashing our children”: Points of View

We're going to start by talking about this story that's been making rounds this week about the ASCL, the Association for School and College Leaders, who have been talking about Ofsted.

Ofsted.

And they have basically said this week that negotiations are exhausted.

They have said that they've run out of steam, basically.

And what comes next? I've no idea.

Lucy Powell has told Ofsted to go back to the drawing board over concerns about how it inspects.

And a coalition of people, senior voices in the sector, have said that inspection is causing psychological harm.

Where have we heard this one before? Well, 10 minutes ago between us three.

But certainly you all have probably heard it before over the last three years because it's been replayed over and over, hasn't it? The future of Ofsted.

We've had a new framework.

We've had schools shut down during the Ruth Perry tragedy.

We've had the inquiry results.

We've had Amanda Spielman.

We've now got Martin Oliver.

We've had this new framework, which some people say is worse than the old framework.

So the question I guess we're going to ask in the first 15, 20 minutes is, what is going to happen next and what should happen next.

JP? You want me to repeat what I said before? Right.

Like all of the other offs, off what? Off Gem, off Calm.

They can all bloody bog off because they're fecklessly useless, the whole lot of them.

Every single one of those government bodies.

One can't police the water because it's full of poo.

One's got the highest energy prices in Western Europe.

One can't control the bloody BBC because every bloody star in the BBC has gone bloody AWOL or done something stupid.

Let's be clearly honest.

Every government legislation or every government watchdog, I mean, watchdog, woof, woof, is bloody useless when it comes down to it.
