All Tory Education Ministers and some of other complexions seem to want to bring back quill pens and remodel state schools on Hogwarts; or at least take things back to the good old days when they themselves were lacing daisies in the playground. This latest pronouncement, while good for grabbing a Daily Mail headline, makes me mad. Embrace the benefits of progress, guys, one of which is the miracle of the smartphone. Let the teachers run the schools; and for that matter, put Hattie Jacques and James Robertson-Justice back in charge of the NHS (kids, google that on your ‘phones).
