All I can say is - I only hope the act described in that burst of lyrical dementia
Is her “thing” because sure as hell that sounded pretty coercive to me.

There needs to be investment in early years support like we had with Sure Start. Parents were helped by multidisciplinary teams , it worked but that was decimated by the tories.

Early years poverty reduce a person’s life chances- educational attainment, health & eventual earnings all adversely affected. Keeping kids out of poverty is literally a good future investment

The child should always be the priority. Parental Finances change and and not everyone has savings to fall back on.

Research shows unequivocally what the benefit limit means: kids go without food, clothes, and heating. You can think it’s unfair some parents get cash you don’t or made poor choices you didn’t. But if you think that resentment is more important than a child, I’d suggest you might reflect on that.

An accidental war? How very odd.

My best friend’s husband is in hospital today in the US (again) admitted via ED. He sure as hell isn’t treating himself. The 911
Crew who picked him up, his doctors and nurses and everyone else working today aren’t there just for the $$ because you couldn’t pay them for what they actually do.

Only if they choose to pay it.

Have they ever actually watched Star Trek?

To quote myself "especially given that MATs are (exempt) charities". As a preschool trustee for almost 20 years I just find it odd that there are 50 people being paid more than our entire annual turnover in one MAT. There's a reason why charities have to report high salaries.

The assumption of many in this thread is that school trusts are corporate/privatised/capitalist. We're not. We're teams of teachers who've come together to support young people and communities.

Is the system perfect? No. But teachers organising to improve education is a good thing.
