Super Thursday
Noticed this on the BBC:
School science changes 'rushed'Anybody else see any other controversial news that might "disappear" in the rush of election news today?The move to a more flexible school curriculum in England is being rushed, leading science organisations claim.
Learned societies, teachers and others say it is alarming that changes for 11 to 14-year-olds are not being piloted.
Schools are under too much pressure from other developments to implement the changes in 2008 successfully, the group argues. They should be postponed.

Flexibility in the school curriculum is to be encouraged as much as possible. As the son of two teachers I have seen the way in which the rigid national curiculum has degraded the teaching profession, sapped its creativity and undermined its professional status. As the father of two primary school children I have had, and am still having, to deal with the effects of
the application of rigid system and methodology and the way it fails our children. The facilities may never have been better but the quality of teaching may never have been worse. Where are my school vouchers?
What about stories buried under Bliar's oft-pre-announced pre-resignation speech today? ID card costs rocket to £105
