Back In The Jug Agane – Britian’s skools reopen

It’s the end of an era! As parents collapse weeping to their knees in a fug of gin, has home schooling changed how we teach kids? Will in-school testing stick? And will the experience shine a light on the God-awfulness of the National Curriculum? PLUS: After that derisory nurses’ pay offer, how long ’til the U-Turn? Porklife as the Government shovels “levelling up” money to Tory constituencies. Farage retires! Again! And why can’t we stop collecting stuff? Ros Taylor, Ahir Shah and Arthur Snell join Alex Andreou for this week’s panel edition. “Perhaps forcing a young woman to dress up and endure whatever hatred the press want to throw at her is inhuman. And perhaps we should stop doing it.” – Ros Taylor “Even the most loving and caring parents are saying OK, please take this away from me, I don’t know what a quadratic is.” – Ahir Shah “It’s fair to say that parents trust the heads rather more than they trust Gavin Williamson.” – Ros Taylor “Like a lot of parents I thought, how hard can teaching be? Turns out it’s QUITE difficult…” – Arthur Snell “What’s a fronted adverbial? Trust me, you’re happier not knowing.” – Ros Taylor “If I have to do a spreadsheet for a pint, I will do a spreadsheet for a pint.” – Ahir Shah Presented by Alex Andreou with Ros Taylor, Ahir Shah and Arthur Snell.
