The decision by David Cameron and Willets not to campaign for the return of grammar schools looks set to cause a row amongst the ranks of the Tory party.

Before they come to a decision on the subject, the general public should understand what teachers are really saying when use their professional jargon. For instance,

Too much paperwork means - "bloody kids"

Restrictive National Curriculum means - "bloody kids"

Misleading league tables means - "bloody kids"

Finally, and most importantly, I love teaching kids in the classroom but the bureaucracy is getting me down means - "bloody kids"

Raising standards in British schools can only come from restoring discipline. Everything else follows from that. It should be the Holy Grail of British Politics. Any party which promises it will do well: any government that achieves it will become heroes.
