Name: Kate Fox on Mar 17, 2010Comments: Thank you for organising this petition Kevin. I love my job when it allows me to focus on enriching the lives of all of the children who come to our school by developing the people who work here and creating excitement, challenge and a thirst for learning amongst eveyone who comes here. The relentless amount of new strategies, approaches, initiatives and pointless paper work (including being bombarded daily by emails), means that time for the crucial things is being eroded daily as well as the energy that is needed to provide them.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 14, 2010Comments: As a middle leader in a inner London School, I spend a lot of my time filling in forms, writing reports and engaged in administrative tasks. I would welcome any move that was aimed at reducing this workload so I can concentrate of doing what I love - teaching and inspiring students in my subjectFlag

Name: Anne Todd on May 16, 2010Comments: I have been teaching since 1974 and I've never been off work with anything other than a cold, until recently. I had to take two weeks off after filling in 90 APP sheets during February half-term, due to stress and exhaustion. They are pointless and and wordy and clearly not written by experienced teachers. Thank you for starting this petition!Flag

Name: Karl Caslin on May 16, 2010Comments: Thank God there is somebody speaking out against all of this bureaucratic nonsense dreamed up by people who have no idea how it doesn't work on the ground! I'm also astounded by the 'roll over and die' attitude of most of the people in the profession to all of these initiatives - do what works, drop what doesn't - it's not rocket science. Thank you Mr Bullock, well done.Flag

Name: Jon Finnis on May 23, 2010Comments: Children in our schools are understandably bored of run-of-the-mill lessons that are delivered by teachers that (despite being more than capabel of delivering exceptionally exciting lessons) are consumed by pointless bureaucracy. A teacher that can spend most of their non-contact time preparing exciting resources and inspiring lessons will simply get better results.Flag

Name: Peter Dewhurst on May 29, 2010Comments: I sit in my school on a Saturday morning completing and updating various 'compulsory' policies, so that I can try and enjoy the forthcoming half term break with my family, without the constant feeling that I haven't completed something that OFSTED might 'catch me out' on. I am taking the time to complete this petition because I feel so strongly that a huge proportion of what I have to do has absolutely no impact on the quality of education the children receive but simply fulfils some irrelevant regulation. I am hoping the new government are true to their promise to cut bureacracy, but we've heard it all before and the initiatives keep on coming!Flag

Name: Rad on May 1, 2012Comments: I am close, so close to calling it a day with teaching. However, It's uplifting to know that other teachers believe as I do, that all this excessive paperwork is unnecessary, alienating and demotivating. I am a teacher not an administrator. Sadly however, I find it staggering that there are not 10000000 more signatures on here. It's actually very simple how we put an end to this. We strike indefinitely until each and every demand of ours is satisfied. Our choice. Let us teach, let us inspire, let us change the world.Flag
