Riots 2 Weeks, 6 Days ago
|
|
A Government spokesperson has said the following in response to the Southport riots last summer:
"More widely, work is taking place across government – underscored by our Plan for Change – to break down the barriers to opportunity and ensure that every child has the best start in life."
Another plan, terrific...
Breaking down barriers to opportunity is impossible as is ensuring every child has the best start in life, whatever that means.
Anyone else despair about the use of language and paucity of ideas?
I would love to know whether, deep down, these people believe they are achieving something. Or whether they stare at the ceiling in the early hours wondering what the point of them is?

A stimulating read indeed:
"Help every child to achieve and thrive at school, through excellent teaching and high standards. This will include a focus on disadvantaged children and those with special educational needs and disabilities. Impact will be measured through attainment at the end of secondary school."
Every child: good to know they won't be leaving any out of the plan which will be achieved by teaching effectively. Then measured through tests at the end of school...
This is just a description of the current teaching process, not a bloody "plan".

It does sound like it, but perhaps they feel the need to reiterate these objectives, in case other parties wouldn't, for example, include a focus on disadvantaged children or those with special educational needs and disabilities. For instance, Reform UK's "Our contract with you" doesn't mention these children, or even the need for excellent teaching and high standards, in its page on education (electronic page 13, document page 11).

I agree that some children should be taken away if the parents can't cope or the child has problems, the government needs to get their own house in order also. When the extra 5 million in the next few years come to the UK, there's going to be a lot of kids falling through the cracks.
ONS only give out the recorded stats.
