Children’s Learning Centres

It seems that the so-called New Labour, government, lived in some strange psychotic parallel universe, where they claimed to have created children’s learning centres, and yet no one could see or find these places, in material reality, nor in anywhere in the country.

The Conservatives, have written and spoken about liberating teachers from state interference and control, and I very much agree with them about this too, and that is why children’s learning centres are so important, as a separate but complimentary part of the school system, and so I hope the Conservatives also stick to their principles and promises, and create these learning centres in material reality, and not just in the politicians minds and strange psychotic parallel universes.

It seems that some teachers, have some irrational and paranoiac fears about these possible and very potential children’s learning centres, because they think they will lose their authority and jobs, but this is absolutely not the case at all, as there will still be teachers at these centres, teachers won’t lose their jobs, and in fact it will give them more jobs; but these centres will be places of teaching, where teachers will be able to apply their own individual teaching methods, and where teachers will have freedom from the national curriculum.

As long as the Conservatives, and other political parties realise, that there still has to be some parental freedom of information, and democratic participation, as to what goes on in both schools, and within possible and potential children's learning centres - as most Conservative voters and parents very much want and agree to this - then that is fine, because as the Conservatives say, it’s good to have teachers liberated from state-control, but this does not mean that any teachers’ power and authority becomes absolute or arbitrary - in both an individual or collective sense - nor without some democratic and governmental agreed rules of moral, ethical, and educational conduct.

On the whole matter of children's learning centres, because whilst I more or less support The Labour Party overall, I also take a fairly non-partisan view on this vital, important, much needed modern policy, and matter, because one way or another, all three main political parties, have said they agree with the principles of these centres being created, and I want to see all three main political parties deliver their promises, and not let their voters, teachers, parents, and children down, by not delivering on them.
