Why not applaud the explosion of literacy in texts and posts? Better to welcome rather than vilify a tool that can play a part in learning

I heard you on the radio the other day, explaining why you thought the proposed European Super League was a bad idea. I must say I was surprised, as I thought your hands were full with the matter of this summer's GCSE and A-level assessments.

How's that going? If my youngest is anyone to go by, the situation is as clear as mud - not the school's fault by any means. I have a sense the education department has been dragged kicking and screaming into accepting the inevitable - that you will have to trust teachers to assess students. Even so, you and your department are so annoyed at having to let go of your usual control-freakery, you've inserted exam-like tests into the process. Right now, I have a sense this is the lull before the storm. Come August and the publication of the exam results, a mighty furore will break out. Again. And you can not resign. Again.
