| Message | Mr Speaker, When will people realise that the less a government interferes with schools the better they are? That's why parents will pay thousands of pounds per term to take kids out of free schools and put them into independent ones: with no standardised testing, national curriculum, &c. If you don't want "dumb kids" then let the teachers teach, and get out of their hair! I yield the floor. |
