The Useless Teacher Quota

Melanie Phillips discusses some innovative proponents of modern nitwittery. A quote from one forward thinker:

‘I would not remove every single useless teacher because every grown-up in a workplace needs to learn to deal with the moron who sits four desks down without lamping them and to deal with authority that’s useless. I’d like to keep the number low, but if every primary school has one pretty naff teacher, this helps kids realise that even if you know the quality of authority is not good, you have to learn how to play it.’
