Tories create a better education.

The Tory government has decided to give schools and head teachers more support when it comes to unruly pupils. This is supposed to effectively give teachers the power in the class room, rather than the pupil. Which is the way it is supposed to be. Head teachers would be able to exclude disruptive pupils who don't want to work without their decision being undermined by "outside bodies."

This is another example of the Conservative party trying to bride their way into power, what with the inheritance tax and now this. However, it is a decision which could prove very popular with schools and also members of the public. They are giving people what they want - teachers gain the power that they expect with the position that they are, and parents get to choose where their children go to school.


Nevertheless the Conservative Party would also give complete anonymity to teachers who abuse pupils. On the one hand this could save face of those who are wrongly accused, whereas on the other those who are actually guilty are being wrongly protected. This is a difficult debate to overcome, because do you protect or expose?

Still, it is obvious to see that the Tories are trying to change the country that we live in for the better, and targeting a topic that the British public is passionate about, is a good way to go.
