Yes, approximately a third of Labour MPs are members. It's like saying any old shite the Monday Club come out with is Conservative party policy.

Odd how popular boarding school type places (Hogwarts, Jennings books etc) are in literature.

Partly because a lot of authors are posh and also because it allows minimal adult intervention in children's adventures. Obviously schools have teachers but they're either cane happy villains or droning automatons.

Yes it allows for parents being kept out of the way. Rural settings mean lots of outdoor adventures. Also, children are often fascinated by old things, especially spooky old buildings.

Dunno. They mainly did CSEs. If you want to see old papers they'll have them in Senate House. If you want to find them online, good luck persuading Google you didn't mean GCSE.
Something wankers like Dominic Cummings who go on about exams having got easier never consider is that all past exams and mark schemes are in a library somewhere. It would be really easy to prove.

I rebelled against the vile system in 1996 when I did my A-levels. Got a D in Economics because I thought the dominant economic paradigm was a farrago of ludicrous magical thinking. Got a Q on the essay paper for Questionable. Didn't matter a damn jot because I had a two E offer to Oxford after passing the entrance exam. Got a D in AS Politics as welll as an act of Gandhian passive resistance. If you ask me stupid questions then why expect anything other than stupid answers?
I'll look up secondary modern literature, thanks.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner? Or is that borstal?
Yes and it says that "The Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform (LCER) is an organisation formed of members and supporters of the British Labour Party, seeking to persuade the party to adopt in its manifesto a commitment to proportional representation in all UK elections." - because currently the party has NOT adopted it in its manifesto because the party is not as a whole in favour.

You'll get modern literature studied in secondary schools.
You want old CSE English papers but wouldn't know where to find them online, you'd probably have more luck in a local library.

I went to see a talk by Sillitoe at our local library when we read that. I remember him going on about how he couldn't exchange the money he got from the royalties for the Russian translation so he used to be go on luxury holidays to the Soviet Union.

On Economics, I'm glad to see Professor Steve Keen now works in Britain rather than Australia. in Kingston I beleive which is where I was born in 1978. Might be the new Keynes of the 21st century - who knows?

Probably about as much use as clapping for the nhs but just want to say I am really glad that all of you lot here are teachers. It's good to know that there are people like you who question everything doing this massively important job. I had one good teacher at my school and thank fuck for her, she made it ok to ask questions basically, and she talked to you like a person, which none of the others did.
The only 2ndary school teacher i know irl is very not like that, she's unlikely to deviate from any given lesson plan and I used to wonder sometimes at the huge responsibility and opportunity that she didn't seem at all interested in being aware she had.

Lol. Wait - might be new management in charge and it might be a functioning 21st century university. In my day they gave firsts to idiots like sweeties and 2:1s to the brightest and the best.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
And as a parent I want to know how they’re getting on. And I want to hear that from their teachers. That doesn’t mean I want their teachers to have to provide specific stats or use a silly reporting format - I just want a conversation, or in the absence of that a report.

It's not for the parents. It's for the unholy god of spreadsheets and standardised reports.

Why isn't there a General Strike till we're a Republic and a democracy? What happened to the fighting spirit of 1926? Why is everyone still going to work instead of just hanging and chilling at home eating ice creams and laughing as the Former Regime goes down faster than the Titanic?
