I’d rather have a Margaret Thatcher state school than a Michael Gove one

John Harris

How grim that creativity and critical thinking should be under such attack, by people who fail to grasp a point so basic as to seem banal: that education emphasising cold formalities over substance is not really education at all. How awful, too, to be looking ahead to the progress of your own children, and suddenly feeling an unfamiliar sense of dread.

A aldeia tornou-se global e praticamente todos se imitam uns aos outros e daí a decadência do ensino ser também global. Confunde-se formalismos com educação e quer-se reduzir esta à primeira.
