		<description>Well quite. It's a shame they can't do it by selling their product, instead of demeaning the opposition though really. How much more positive if they said "HE has this, this and this but we have this, this and this" instead of essentially mudslinging and deriding.</description>

		<description>Maybe so, but teaching union bods are going to feel compelled to defend the school model.  They really wouldn't be doing a very good job at defending their members' interests if they said anything different.</description>

		<description>Mmmmm.... actually, i often think that one of the best groups of people they could get to speak for bith sidea would be some fairly ordinary, 45+ teachers. Ones who remember pre NC days, have a wide experience of teaching and children and remember parents before we all needed to be told how to be parents :roll: It is fairly rare to get a teacher, not caught on the back foot or defending themselves, who can't say some positive things about HE i think. Not that anyone bothers to go looking for them, being as morbid radicals are much more news worthy.</description>

		<description>Oooh - good argument, Merry.

I always get this sinking feeling when they get teaching union bods to comment on HE.
"So, life as a vegan - a good idea, or not?  We asked a butcher what he thought..."</description>
