I have to agree with LtS - in my experience of working with school and college governors, and briefly as a parent governor and staff governor (different times, of course), all are volunteers with solely the best interests of the school and students at heart.

A lot of effort goes into minimising the impact of the latest government initiative on the students. All those lawyers who believe they know education better than either experienced professional educators or the experience of history, then try and impose ridiculous "measures of success" which ineviatably impede the teaching and learning process.
