ABSTRACT
Realistically the Government is not going to impose a moratorium on change in education. It’s what teachers want and need, but it’s not going to happen. Mr Blunkett, Ms Morris et al. are fizzing with ideas. As will be their successors. They are politicians and in the business of remodelling the world into their vision of the ideal. But unless and until such people begin to have more regard for the impact of their ideas on schools, classrooms, teachers and pupils they will fail to achieve their objectives and they will perpetuate the crisis of ill health in the teaching profession.
