English Teacher Mehreen Baig on Why UK Education Needs A Major Reform

[@Flower_28938]

It’s so true that teachers are not paid well compared to doctors or lawyers, and their job is essentially important in our society.

This was a hard listen. Such victim mentality. The dad who has the thick son gets it. Academic qualifications won’t be of great benefit to his son, a business will teach his kid more than any school teacher will. And yes, thick kids in state schools won’t be handed a business on a plate, but victim mentality will do more damage than good. The problem lies in uncontrolled migration, I just don’t know how London is coping with the amount of people living there. It’s becoming mumbai

Again, the host is trying to be right instead of listening and understanding. Why have guests if you don't listen to them?

Fair point. This episode was recorded a long time ago. Andy has developed a lot as a host since then. We appreciate the feedback though, it's what's making us a better podcast. thankyou!

I think he’s excellent, not everyone’s cup of tea but wouldn’t want it to change too much.

I didn’t get that at all. And I liked his argument. I personally think private schools have such a huge part to play in this country. We are so lucky to have them. Instead of being envious victims, we should learn to appreciate this heritage.

@@Balanced1-vx3cf I like the argument too. I just wish he would take his turn and discuss instead of trying to get his point through. I really like the podcast, the concept and the hosts. Just this propension, and they corrected it now.
