Management of the county's four Pupil Referral Units will also be delegated to their existing management committees. Meanwhile, Cabinet has also agreed how special schools and enhanced resourced school provision is funding for the forthcoming year." I like 'dished out' though, a good plain term of which Gowers would have approved.<br /><br />That said the looking after of children in care has always been a mess in the UK - stuck between being 'on the parish', being invoked far too late in the day and no-one wanting to face the fearsome cost of doing the job properly. Better to send them to Eton. Won't happen so virtual teachers seem a reasonable idea.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-56283994698322082602013-03-27T07:25:49.799+00:002013-03-27T07:25:49.799+00:00Actually, a good idea that we already have in Birm...Actually, a good idea that we already have in Birmingham: <br /><br />http://www.virtualcollegebirmingham.com/<br /><br />Looked After Children, because of previous abuse and neglect, very often can't cope with being in mainstream school and get thrown out very quickly.Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-28258075886375048132013-03-27T06:34:50.608+00:002013-03-27T06:34:50.608+00:00Means they will have someone else to blame when th...Means they will have someone else to blame when the current generation of children in care fail to thrive.bannedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406037760273820029noreply@blogger.com
