Rejected petition Mr Gove to spend time in school

More details

After insulting teachers, telling them they do not work hard enough, wanting to make holidays shorter and making one bad decision after the next that make teachers' work harder and harder, we would like Mr Gove to spend 1 month in a school teaching and coping with the workload teachers bear before making any more decisions.
As journalist, he has no experience in education and shouldn't neither judge nor make decisions that influence so many lives.
Please sign this petition for Mr Gove to come and experience real life at the bottom end of his decision making chain. We are all tired and exhausted - our children have been reduced to targets, numbers and percentages and the fun has been taken out of what used to be an inspirational profession.
