Name: Ann Meade on Jan 8, 2010Comments: I would challenge Ed Balls to order all of the documentation that regulates or advises on education! Would his office be big enough to hold all of the policies, tool boxes and circulars? He would certainly have diffiuclty in finding his desk!Flag

Name: Anne-Marie Turnbull on Jan 8, 2010Comments: I was deemed an outstanding teacher by Ofsted but the job was simply killing me due to the amount of form filling, assessment and planning to the minutest detail. As a result I simply walked away from it. I have now freed myself from the burden and am now a full time supply teacher in constant demand to cover for colleagues who are in the same position that I was once in!Flag

Name: Joan Horner on Jan 8, 2010Comments: The most effective way to raise standards in our schools would be to allow our teachers to teach instead of spending numerous hours on pointless paperwork. I fully support Kevin's stand on this issue.Flag

Name: Trudy Pickerin on Jan 8, 2010Comments: As a school secretary I see daily the effect of the excessive amount of paperwork and unnecessary bureaucracy on our teaching staff and the stress that is created. No wonder we can't recruit enough headteachers as they have even more red tape to wade through. Let the teachers teach and the headteachers manage their own schools without so much interference.Flag

Name: Darren Woodward on Jan 8, 2010Comments: As a Headteacher for just over 3 years, whilst it hasn't surprised me how much we have had thrown our way by government, often for the sake of it, it bothers me so much more that it takes up far too much valuable time and the financial waste is shocking, when we continue to beg, borrow, steal and relentlessly apply for other funds, to give the children at our school a good education. Until the day that schools stop becoming such an enormous political football, and the entire solution to all of societies ills by making schools solve everything in less than 200 days per year, I do not know what else they expect except that there will need to more initiatives to solve all social issues. When the solution to many heads retiring and deputies unwilling to take on the role, is to look to amalgamate schools and grade them all from A to E on such a simplistic level, then where does it leave anyone with an ounce of sense to believe that the government's head is buried. I believe you find plenty of it at the beach. I also believe that we only know how much of it there is for three years until Whitehall works out the next three year trench of sand!Flag

The relentless increase of bureaucracy is destroying the profession and indirectly harming the children's education. Soon you will have no-one wanting to be a Head or a Governor.Flag
