What do you think?
“Union leaders have criticised Ofsted plans to scrap the 'satisfactory' judgement for school inspections as part of efforts to tackle 'coasting' schools. A proposed change would see schools that do not provide a good standard of education given a new 'requires improvement' grade in an effort to tackle those which have maintained a 'satisfactory' rating over a number of inspections without improving. Do you think this idea will raise standards for children or just put unnecessary pressure on some of our schools?”

“I think the implementation of the 'requires improvement' grade is certainly aiming to raise standards and I think it is right and proper that standards are continually challenged and improved upon. This is especially important when it comes to the education of children.
I'm not a teacher but in all the jobs I've done, opportunities to challenge myself and become better at what I do have always been welcomed although in some cases, the initial requirement sometimes stings a little!” -

“Ofsted does not currently inspect academies. Discuss.”

“Union 'leaders' appear to criticise anything and everything. I see no problem with striving to be better - why do the unions? I am led to think that the unions are happy with mediocrity and therefore not encouraging the best within education.”
