My kids' church-based playgroup was OFSTED-inspected a few years ago. The eminently sensible 60-ish woman who ran the group told me, in bewilderment, that the inspector had taken her to task over the fact that there were no girls playing with the train set. What on earth was she supposed to do? Haul a few girls over from the home corner and force them to play with trains?Bessienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-41073961604222166882010-03-29T09:27:01.217+01:002010-03-29T09:27:01.217+01:00and all of this funded to excess by the hard press...and all of this funded to excess by the hard pressed taxpayer...splendid.JohnRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021101596935644363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-29629983889532033422010-03-29T06:02:09.234+01:002010-03-29T06:02:09.234+01:00"Education Correspondent of the Telegraph..&q...<i>"Education Correspondent of the Telegraph.."</i> <br /><br />That Aussie proofreading doing a bang-up job again...<br /><br /><i>"That's because surely it's fundamental and should not need to be explicitly stated You cretinous jobsworths."</i> <br /><br />There's so much /facepalm material in this report I nearly tagged it with 'humour'!<br /><br /><i>"We really are through the looking glass aren't we?"</i> <br /><br />Yup!
