Michael Gove is destroying our school system

Guardian Education, Suzanne Moore, 30th January 2012

For the Conservative hardman in charge of our education policy, the three Rs are rigour, rightwing history and rote learning


One of the main things I learn as I age is just how much I don't know. Last week alone, I learned that I am clueless when it comes to putting together a TV stand from Ikea, making something "unscary" out of turkey mince, understanding the formulas in Brian Cox's new show or making a bored, tired child do pointless homework.
Such modesty, I am sure, is what stands between me and a cabinet post (oh, and the small detail of not being a bloke, in the Tory party or even an MP, but that's just for sticklers).
