Doctrinaire leftie language

The Guardian reports that Michael Gove's team are already having an education bill drafted.

Schools would be regulated less. The freedom which academies have to set pay and conditions for teachers would be extended to all schools, allowing them to pay above the odds for the best teachers. It would also be made easier for headteachers to sack under-performing staff.

The paper quotes Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, saying:
Academies are not the answer to school improvement – the idea this would be writ large across education is unacceptable.
Unacceptable! Yes, teacher knows best. Never let democracy stand in the way of the monopoly provider expert, Christine.

If people vote Tory, they will know what education policy they have voted for.
