SINGULARLY UNIMPRESSIVE !

Went along to the IW School Governors Conference today. Very enjoyable day, all rounded up with an appalling presentation to the assembled governors by the Council cabinet member responsible for Education & Children's Services. Essentially all the standards problems on the IW are the fault of teachers and governors and it is for them to sort it out. No attempt to take people with him or to assure them he is on their side. And this to people who give hours of their own time to what is a voluntary role. A clear example of how not to win friends and influence !
