Dear me - that man is such a pain in the proverbial. Does anyone actually rate him?
It so annoys me when he provides new "guidelines" about such things as discipline in the classroom - what does he know about it? How does he know that teachers are not already doing these things in situations where it is appropriate? - and using other methods where these are the right thing to do.
His falling out with OfSted is very worrying - he is trying to control what should be an independent body. I am no great fan of OfSted, as I think some of their judgements can be very subjective, and their negative assessments do not translate into help and support for struggling schools, as used to happen with the former LA inspectors.
I wonder if he will have the nerve to put in his crony now that the s**t has hit the fan?
What a singularly tiresome man. It would not matter if he were in a position where we could all just ignore him, but he has such power.
