I teach at RedTape High. (No really, I do). And while I love the little cherubs who delight me every morning with their heart warming stories of teenage pregnancy and homework stolen by their dealer; and my wonderful colleagues whose halitosis breath always ensures I’m awake (and suitably nauseous) at the staff meeting; and the inspired powers that be, whose various initiatives have over the years served to wear down any possibility I had of still caring about anything, I decided it was time to take action.

So, in attempt to stem the tide of bile and general dissatisfaction with everything in education that threatens to take over my sanity at any given second, I have instead decided to ‘Blog It Out’. I think that is the official term. And it’s important to use the official term. If there was one, the catchy governmental acronym for this particular solution to my problem would most likely be B.I.O.

I expect there would be a government white paper on it; some big press releases about the promised billions of pounds of funding (which would later be rescinded); and some well-staggered and completely unrealistic targets to aim for as well. Various ‘education giants’ would bring out expensive software to manage the problem, there would be a website www.bioandyou.gov.uk; and it would be front page news on The Sun for about five minutes, until Jordan took her top off again; or they switched to supporting the BNP.

Yes, I have great hopes for Blogging It Out. It surely will hold the key to my sanity. Something has to.
