My own (irate) response to the DCSF “independent review” was number 1012 – will we be able to get it to 1500 before the 20th?
If you need one reminder why to respond, then read my blog post on it.
Or you could read any of Gill’s posts or any of Carlotta’s posts – and once you’ve done that you could also make sure you’ve signed the 10 Downing St petition and there another 9 or more useful things you can do on this page here, including writing to your MP.
Or you could do nothing and hope you are still allowed to be a parent without a signed consent form in 10 years time. A quick response to the DCSF (i did like the point that they put school firmly between child and family in their name) will take 10-20 minutes at most. Please do it.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
Good post (I love your other one too but I can’t comment on it – the number of children ‘lost in the system’ amazes me – it’s so easy to ‘disappear’ if you move around – surely it’s the children how have ‘disappeared’ that are most at risk). I don’t HE (at the moment – LOL!) but would in an instant if I felt that school wasn’t the right place for my child at that time – the right needs to be protected.
I did the questionnaire when you first posted.
chris did it, and his mum doing it!
Done! X
The stupid thing has deleted my saved response I am not a happy bunny at all.
