Something different tomorrow night. I have been asked to be a responder to David Drew the former Stroud M.P.s education talk. I have 8 minutes to respond to David’s talk. I suppose I still  have a little bit of credibility having just retired and still visiting schools regularly but is becoming stretched! Morale does appear to be at an all time low amongst the teaching profession.

Sadly because I am at the debate I am going to be late for our Book Club meal-we have just read The History of Mr Polly and we are eating on Brian’s boat and discussing the book. Hopefully something will be left for me when I get there!
