In view of the huge gaffe Tristram Hunt made with
his idea for all teachers to swear an oath promising to work hard, and of the
previous ones he made with regards to supporting Performance Related Pay for
teachers and for free schools, the re-licensing of teachers every five years,
crossing a university workers` picket line, failing to support teachers with
their industrial action, claiming "character and resilience" did not exist in
state schools, and replying to reporters` questions on his children`s future
schools with "Never rule out what takes place", would it not be sensible for him
to attempt to make amends? Resigning would be an option, but he could at least
speak out against "the ideological vandalism" which is cutting the funding of
universities` PGCE courses.(PGCE course:big cuts expected today,14/10/14)
There`s a lot to be done if teachers are to be persuaded to vote for his party,
with him as Secretary of State for Education.
