WTAF

 I’ve just seen this headline.

And all I can say is, “What the actual f…..?”

Make savings?

From where?

Less staff?

Don’t fix buildings?

Chop two legs off because it’s cheaper than waiting until the second gets an infection?

Don’t buy bandages, tear up old rags.

Sew extra pages into exercise books, ban photocopying, hide the glue sticks  (oh wait we are doing that)

Oh dear.

We are in for some very bumpy times. 

The 4% wasn’t fully funded for most schools (many headteachers felt they had enough extra in their budget to fund 2.5%) and it was this effect on the children that was making most teachers take strike action in the first place.
