Apparently the maths has slightly improved.

If so, I'd like someone to explain to me how half a billion pounds has made no difference to our primary kids' reading.

Just think what that amount could have done if put into subsidised insulation for old homes.

And of that, just how much went to the front end, and how much went on box ticking exercises and salaried, pensioned box tickers?

The governminted talking heads are out in force to say that's not true, so which is it? And hence what are the points of such surveys anyway?

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
