This education mess is a total nightmare I feel heartily sorry for the Parents and Children caught up in it. It is nice for these Politicians creating this mess for native Brit’s to have to tolerate while they send their own kids to private schools.

Commissar-Dictator Brown and his Common Purpose acolytes have turned schools into little more than examination factories. Children are put under unnecessary and unacceptable stress by being forced to do meaningless tests all the time. They have also created utterly useless school league tables - a bureaucrat’s delight and nothing more. The National Curriculum is another example of New Labour control-freakery.

The teachers must also suffer. They are denied the ability to discipline the unruly children and so all have a bad lesson. I imagine depression and stress is high amongst teachers.

Let it not be forgotten that this person doing a non-job at great expense to the British taxpayer recently described us in the BNP as “sub human”. Might I suggest to Phillips that he be hugely concerned about his own job (at least), and that his current and most vital area of study should be the cost of one-way tickets to Guyana.

If you don’t want substandard foreign culture and values inflicted on your kids to the detriment of our own, obviously more successful and civilised culture, then who better to force it upon you than that
Naz,i Phillips.

Each to their own, birds of a feather flock together, better the devil we know than the devil we dont want and didn’t ask for.

What is getting Phillips’ goat is the fact that we are not all sheeple and docilely willing to accept everything that this mis-government decides to throw at us. People will do whatever they can on behalf of their children - they haven’t dehumanised us to that extent yet.

Perhaps we should start a secular Sunday School system like the Victorians did to infuse a sense of history and British tradition into our deprived and rootless youngsters.

Do we have to keep Phillips in the limelight? Here we have an education debate, prompted by the very person that proves the saying “A little education is a dangerous thing”. Surrounded by sycophants he really believes that his pronouncements are important. No Phillips they’re not, neither are you.
Just another ‘positive discriminator’ elevated beyond his capabilities. I will in future try to refrain from posting on anything this pratt says or does, unless it’s emigrating.

T.Phillips owes the people of this country an explantation and an apology. Then he can resign before he is forced out by means of the very ‘laws’ which are designed to repress the British. - Ed.

As ‘Englishman’ says: it’s a nightmare. As I’ve extensively explained elsewhere on this site, our secondary schools are very much worse than appalling; anybody whose work has no ’school connection’ would be shocked stiff to see how schools are run. Every few seconds, in the great majority of secondary schools, something is said or done by a pupil which - not that long ago - would have resulted in instant, permanent exclusion and a good hiding from his or her parents.

I write from genuine concern for today’s kids for they are utterly clueless. Exaggeration? I make a special point of asking whole classes this question: ‘On what date, every year, is New Year’s Day?’ Answers range from September 1st through July 14th to December 31st…only two children (year 9) in 4 schools have given me the right answer. I do not lie. I also ask ‘Which county do you live in?’ Ninety-nine times out of a hundred they’ll give you the name of their town! “No, no” I say ” which COUNTY?” The penny then ‘drops’ and they chant ‘Oh! ENGLAND!” I despair. These kids are 11 - 15 years old!

As wonderful as the personal computer may be, it has cheapened knowledge; no longer does there exist a sense of discovery and victory on tracking-down the right reference or illustration; no longer does the pupil need to sift information (learning along the way ) in order to find his or her goal. No. What they do now is ‘google’ it, print it, cut it out and stick it in…between texting of course - and listening to ‘rap’ through their ear-phones with the school’s blessing.

If politicians really want to know of the reality, they’ll stop blindly chanting about ‘best-ever results’, ‘committed teachers’ etc etc…they’ll send in a civil servant, incognito, and get the REAL picture. I emphasize that this is written out of sheer frustration and the genuine desire to see well-educated youngsters, teachers with decent standards, and value for tax-payers’ money.

I kid you not, parents, you’d best pick your school carefully…or is it YOU?

Extremely depressing stuff, Mr.A., and all too familiar. We urgently need to get back to basics, do we not? Recently I moderated a post from someone who said they were an English teacher. Within a couple of short paragraphs, I had to make about a dozen corrections for grammar, spelling and syntax. It is absolutely absurd, and totally unacceptable. - Ed.

I posted a comment on the Evening Standard but fat chance that this Marxist rag will publish it, so here it is …

Noted, Brian.
However, we won’t carry the argument.
Its the ES’s decision, just as what we publish here is our decision.
I’m sure you understand. Thanks. - Ed

“We have to slow the trend of schools being colonised by parents who can afford the premium on house prices to live nearby. They cannot simply entrench their good fortune and ensure other people cannot share it.”

The good fortune these people so desperately “entrench” consists of being White Fled English. We must always share, share, share. What the colonisers of schools (along with everything else) have to share with us we just do not want, never asked for, and would like to be taken away.

I really coudn’t give a damn what Phillips is concerned about. Phillips is an over-verbose, unelected, arrogant alien impostor with little understanding of the genuine British and British culture and even less concern for them. His opinions and concerns are irrelevant, as indeed he is.

A large part of the problem is the idea of a “center of multicultural excellence”. It’s an oxymoron. Multiculturalism places primacy of value on bringing cultures together rather than on achieving true educational excellence. One cannot mix a culture that values educational excellence with cultures that do not and expect that the result will be better education. The result will always reflect the dilution.

RedWhite…I’m talking predominantly white schools. My interest in this party is based only partly on the immigration issue; my main requirement is a government with some common sense - a government which recognizes that it is utterly pointless trying to teach biology, French, mathematics, Spanish, geography et al if the kids haven’t yet grasped or been taught the very, very basics of basic decency! (intentional repetition)Last week I was twice threatened with a punch in the face, routinely insulted and ignored during lessons - and here’s the thing…when trying to establish order at the start of a lesson (usually 20 minutes or not at all)the kids are NOT deliberately ignoring the teacher or making a conscious effort to wind him up…no! They simply don’t know he’s there! He is of so little importance to them that he may as well be invisible…even the ‘tough’ teacher. Ultimately (under the present ‘regime’) if kids choose to riot - they riot! Even if the law allowed it, no teacher wants to wade in physically so it is of paramount necessity that a totally clean slate is required: one on which a party with good standards can re-write the rules; a party which doesn’t necessarily reduce funding when a kid is excluded but rewards the school for effectively raising standards! Sound like good sense? Easy, innit?

Quite so, Mr Average. Education begins with acceptance of a socially revered authority. This respect creates in the pupil a desire to be similarly revered by emulating the achievement and status of the master. - Ed

Once again our Guyanan friend comes out with palpable nonsense and continues to attempt to force his multicultural claptrap down the the throats of an unwilling indigenous population. The reason white families do not want to send their children to schools that have been “culturally enriched” is that they know, for the most part,that these schools are hellholes providing a substandard education. I suggest he looks no further than his own Labour Party colleague Ms.Diane Abbot,also of immigrant stock, who totally rejected all of the multiracial state schools in her area and sent her son to a largely white, private school. This tells you all you need to know about the true opinion of our so called leaders, these hellholes are good enough for your children but certainly not good enough for their children.
The sooner that Mr.Phillips returns to his native Guyana the better it will be for the long suffering indigenous people of this country.

In Burnley we have schools for the future or something like that. In a nutshell the powers that be are moving Asian kids from their part of the town to the white part of the town, and sixth form education is exclusive to the Asian part of the town so the kids can all sit happily together and prove that multi culturalism works.
In reality, riot vans at the end of the School day, gang warfare, schools in special measures, kids lives ruined. But what do the pathetic liblab con merchants do? Bury heads in sand, deny there is a problem, if there is it is because of hostility by the host community etc etc. Nothing about baseball bat attacks on white kids by gangs of older asians! If it was not for councillor Wilkinson speaking out it would be conveniently brushed under the carpet. Neil Kinnock once said you cannot play politics with peoples lives when he took on the “Militant Tendancy” well these people still run labour/liberals and now they are playing politics with childrens education. Shame on them.

Forced integration? Whatever happened to freedom of association? Whites will flee quicker than Phillips can say ‘untermensch’. He knows this already because they did the same in the USA.

Maybe that’s the plan - Ed.

Liam Byrne. Minister for Immigration is MP for Hodge Hill, Birmingham. There is a secondary school on his patch that is turning out to be one of the worst in the region. Nearly 80% of pupils are Asian, predominantly Muslim, and, from what I have seen, they are the most disruptive; their behaviour is utterly intolerable, getting away with smoking on site, constantly disrupting lessons using mobile phones and causing criminal damage. What’s worse they get away with it.

I can understand why no teacher would ever want to teach there and indigenous parents dare not send their kids there, but would rather send them to Sutton Coldfield in order for them to get a decent enough education.

And yet, this idiot Byrne insists 100,000 more immigrants are needed in Birmingham. Birmingham is being destroyed by the multicultural nightmare caused by the Lib/Lab/Con axis of deceit.

Birmingham is my home city. I no longer live there but work there.
I despair. The sooner the BNP’s profile gets wider I’d be glad to see that Trevor Phillips prat be sent packing on the first flight out, but first I want to speak to him for daring to say the BNP, who include decent hard working people. ’sub human’.

And Byrne, we’re onto you, there’s no hiding place.

Fair comment, but see my edits. - Ed

Ed, point taken. I can get carried away at times. Have a good weekend.

A colleague of mine was subjected to insults and an intimidating chant by a group of 15 year olds who, feet on desks, did nothing for an hour despite many reasonable (!) requests that they use their time wisely and do the set work. She twice sought senior advice and each time, on her return to the classroom, found that the hooligans had barricaded themselves in (and her, out)
She then went back to the administrative block at reception and told the secretary that she needed the Head to “sort out the rabble in room 10″ ( an OED-perfect description)She returned to the class to find the Deputy Head at her desk who told her to “go and get yourself a coffee”. After lunch-break, she was sacked for referring - quite accurately and in private to one individual - to the pupils as rabble. Who is worse? The management or the kids? Does the British National Party have an Education Spokesman? I would be very interested to know of the party’s stance on schools.

Geigercounter, I’m from Birmingham too - I still live here and will not move from here - EVER, 99% of my estate is still British and it will stay that way.
The support for BNP here is massive, on voting day a group of nearly 40 of us went to vote BNP wearing our national colours. It felt so good, just like walking through the Muslim areas on the way to a Birmingham City football match, they all run and hide seeing the sheer volume of Britain loving people - we can still get our country back for our children, we just have to stay together and spread the word. Our issue before was people being ashamed to admit they supported the BNP, but every day, the media / liblabcon creation leans our way…. B N P through and through. ps: great to see our site rating so high on the political scale at the bottom of the page, shows what an amazing job you guys are doing, thanks.

The Common Purpose traitors who rule us are caught in a cleft stick of their own devising:- on the one hand, they push “diversity”, thus “faith schools”, which of course, teach within a cultural milieu aligned to their particular faith; on the other hand, “multiculturalism”, the good ol’ melting pot syndrome, where we all hugger-mugger together in a ghastly abomination of so many “cultures” side by side that the only culture which triumphs is gangsta-rap and street.
The government does n’t know which way to jump, now, but I fear they’ll decide to enforce bussing; all the signs seems to be pointing that way.
I feel so for BNP parents with children, hostages to this traitorous crew; in some respects I am fortunate in being free to act without recourse to anxieties for the children I do not have . . . but on the other hand, I regard all native British kids as my own; they are the children of my Tribe, and when harm is done to them, harm is done to me.
I have written before about the importance of home-education, even if only a few hours a week when British parents sit with their children and read together from a good history of the British Isles, free of the nation-hatred inflicted upon our children at school. It is vital that we counter the evil being foisted upon British children at school.

I don’t like Philips idea of Enrichment, Stab vests are too expensive, I don’t like human excrement in my food and I’d like to be able to go out at night without having to consider how I might have to defend myself and my children from a herd of Pack animals.

If it’s all the same to you Mr Philips, ( and even if it isn’t ), We Brits have had enough of your Idea of Enrichment and we don’t like it.

Pack your Bags. you’re leaving

The British are Coming.

Phillips is the head of an organisation that was put there purely for ethnic minorities to whine and complain about every god given injustice they can imagine, especially if money is involved. If anyone with an indigenous background went to the race relations board to complain of being racially abused they’d be laughed out of the office. The indigenous can pay for the service but this doesn’t give them the right to use it.

I would not be forced into putting my children into an ‘enriched’ school! A lot of these schools are violent, filled with bullies, drug dealers, and pushers. My job is to protect my kids. If that means moving half way across the world, I’d do it.

Mr. Phillips must ask himself, would he send his children to such a school? Does he live in an enriched inner city? I would wonder where his children (if he has any), are or have been educated? He must realise that parents want the best for their children. Such schools offer no protection for children nor the teachers. Lib/Lab/Con and organisations such as race relations have removed all forms of discipline.

The government can try to force parents into putting their children into such schools; however, just the thought of mine being dropped off at such an establishment, I break out in a cold sweat. I’d home school, pay private, anything…but there is no way in hell my kids would ever be attending the state run asylums that Mr. Phillips is advocating.
