"Mrs. Palin is a product of a cultural phenomenon. The idea that lack of learning somehow makes one wise and capable. While knowledge makes one foolish and inept."

Yesterday i was aalled to read about Michael Goves latest crackpot policy of training up battle hardened veterans of Armed conflict in just six weeks and emplying them as teachers in schools to help out with discipline etc.

One such individual, when interviewed, commented that he would be able to teach "Unencumbered by Academia".

Because isn't that what we want - teachers to be non academic ...

Gove needs round the clock care!
