We need to stop educating all children under the same roof because the roofs don't provide enough space for all basic subjects to be met ie vocational.<br /><br />There was a bit in the manifesto I think but I've yet to get to that. Too much sunshine keeping me away from the Mac and I can't see the iPad in it. That's my excuse. :)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-14272454682656254562011-04-18T08:18:50.570+01:002011-04-18T08:18:50.570+01:00A useful list of sensible policies.

It was interesting to see Salmond berate Westminster politicians for their use of PFI in the Health Service, yet not a peep about how PFI has crippled the Education system in this country (inflicted by the 2003/7 Labour/Lib Dem administration on mostly Labour councils).<br /><br />No reference to the elephant in the room though - the cuts in the block grant to come. What is to be sacrificed to reach these aims. I don't think the cuts were even mentioned. Is that a good thing? Suppose its better than Labour's unatainable "We'll protect you from the cuts" mantra - buut a reallity check is seriously required from the candidates before I consider who to vote for.Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13574173214924437278noreply@blogger.com
