Wel I saw a Head of English terrorised by Chris Woodheads minions into losing the sight in one eye when his blood pressure went through the roof. That was about '89.

Maybe your wife didn't see ensuing chaos, but I bloody did. Entire stockrooms filled with sat tests and the revisions. Schools unable to afford to employ experienced teachers. Every school's budget having to buy from the government a loose leaf folder with fucking stupid demands on the National Curriculum - £18 a time. Junior schools had to buy ten folders for every teacher.Children who couldn't spell their own names required to study two foreign languages.

Mind you if she didn't notice that lot.....
