My pal Jennie B has been thinking about the  governments fast track teacher training proposals.

And I can't come up with a title like that.

 I'm four days finished at Oxford Brookes..yep..I'm bitter and resentful. And while some of this is the admins fault, and barely any the wonderful teaching  staff, blame ugh, rests squarely on the upper university government/management who have little contact with student's lives. The sort who think its a good idea to make at the same once or twice a term when students are pushed to 24/7 stress because of assignments. Jocey Quinn remarks of education's 'temple to hedonism' approach , fairly accurate desciption of how students engage. Expect the remake of Dead Poets Society to be very f'd up. International and mature students sidelined in libraries full of mobile phones and club night disruption. Teachers are caught in the middle, and love them, I don't know how they do it.

 You know what I'm saying?

 I just checked out the visitor IPs. Cardiff City Council checked in a fortnight ago -  since then they've turned me down for three jobs. Google staff have been keeping tabs on me though, popping by five times in December. I thought so.
