Who wants qualified teachers?

  The government have just announced, the day the Olympics start, that academies can employ unqualified teachers. Will the next step be unqualified doctors. Is this really to do with Gove's belief that teacher training is turning students into lefties?

  An alternative idea is that it will save money, employ retired policemen and services men who already have pension and so will work for low pay.  We already have the problem that 40% of mathematics lessons are taught by people who are not qualified to teach mathematics, this will probably go up to 100% in free schools and academies/

  What is also fascinating is that it is announced when parliament is not sitting and that MPOs seem to have no say in this. What is the purpose  MPs? They look after their pay and pensions and screw everyone else, they seem to have no control over ministers who behave like little Hitlers in their own department. Gove is clearly completely nuts as is Hunt but they just get away with it

  Britain needs to have a parliament which exercises some control over the executive.
