Product reviews for Thinking Allowed

In this highly readable book, Mick gives a brilliant review of the Good, the Bad, and the Plain Old Ugly of the current educational landscape. He is right to conclude that we need "an Education Spring - a rising of intolerance about the way schooling is being manipulated in a piecemeal and uncoordinated way to serve too many purposes with unclear measures". His call for the establishment of an elected National Council for Schooling as a way forward is also spot-on It is indeed time for politicians to hand over the direction of the Profession to the Profession itself
