More school issues

Just recently the LibDems voted to close Drumbrae school despite massive opposition. Now we read that the LibDems have saved schools. Yet Drumbrae school is still closing.

It was the classic case of the "one size fits all and we know best" mentality that has plagued our education sector for so many years. The crazy thing is that the plans to close these schools won't actually save much money because Edinburgh council are not reducing the number of people employed in the Education department. It also makes a mockery of the SNP plans to reduce class sizes- after all they are the LibDems partners on the council.

Just to add insult to injury, their PPC is now calling for "new investment to give schools the flexibility to reduce class sizes or develop one-to-one tuition and improve discipline." It seems that, as ever they are facing both ways and hoping that the public wont notice. Well we have, and with only 80 odd days till the election, memories will last.

Compare this to the plans that the Conservatives have to allow parents and others to set up and run new schools free of council interference.

Very soon we will have the choice of supporting a failed Labour Government who are backed by the LibDems and a new Conservative Government who believe in setting people free to get on with life wthout government interference.

So, if you want change, Vote conservative. A vote for anyone else will change nothing.
