My sister works in a private prep school for boys in an affluent area of Newcastle, and my brother in law in a state secondary school in a deprived area of North Tyneside.
The differences in the way the two systems operate are quite stark to say the least.
Finally my own experience of education in the olden days of black and white, consisted of quite a bit of corporal punishment, coupled with teachers spending a lot of time in a smokey staffroom and the stink of Banda ink and strike action by teachers, resulting in being taught in the home of one teacher who refused to come out on strike !!
Yes a lot of teachers were at the time ultra left wing, but not all

The above is what I was trying to point out in a much smaller post.
The elderly could have been shielded (instead of being inoculated first) providing the care home staff were vaccinated. It should have been debated more!
Cor, I wish my teachers took up strike action - being an avid cricket player. Think of the innings I could have completed.
As I have re-stated. I don't believe all teachers are left-wing but their unions certainly are (just as Len McClusky - my union top dog -is and I don't like a lot of what he spouts).
