The bigger they are, the harder they fall on you


Actually thats a line from Dire Straits, which is a well used phrase that might well describe the state of our educational system in the UK at this present moment. However there is a light at the end of the tunnel and if we are lucky it might not be a City Express steaming towards us.

This recent article of a head teacher who seems to have fallen from grace might give the impression that something is actually starting to change within the walls of education. Yes! Investigated for bullying no less.

Surprise, surprise. We heap on the accolades, the beacon awards the golden girl monica and what do we find lurking beneath the peroxide blonde. You've got it. Just another plain old sociopath. One of the hard faced shiney suited ones. Someone who has to get to the top of the pile no matter who's face gets ground into the dirt for that to happen, allegedly. This young woman is under investigation from bullying her staff. What a surprise it must have been to have been escorted from her office after being given the job to raise another school from the doldrums after her great success with the first school.

It is music to my ears. I can think of a few people I would like to see frog marched from their offices for the same reasons. Take heed all you empire builders out there. Big brother is listening!!
