Private sector 'to loan teachers'

Private Schools need to do more to earn their charitable.

Mr Johnson, a Labour deputy leadership candidate, says that private school need to do more to earn their charitable status. It is not enough to lend state schools their playing fields, they also have to open up their science labs and lending the state school their teachers. State school teachers think it is patronizing of Mr Johnson to imply that state school teacher need the extra help of private school teachers. They think they don’t really need private school teachers in the state system. It is an insult to suggest that state school teachers are not doing as good a job as private school ones.

Comment:

I fully agree with the state school teachers. It is ridiculous to think that private school teachers have had a better education and have more expertise. Some might have but not all. Are private school teachers able to teach a class of 30 to 35 pupils instead of 15 pupils which is normal at private schools? How are they going to manage that? I would like to see that! Teaching a class of 30 pupils is much more demanding it makes an appeal to your teaching skills as well. I do not like the separation of state school and private schools in the UK at all. It should not be “a one way street”. Private schools can learn a lot from state schools as well. Make a good use of each other’s facilities and talents.
