#class ceiling

[emotinalsupportturtle]

Just thinking of nuwho doctors being unapologetically socialist, absolutely based and sometimes just borderline anarchist

As someone said, the commie doctors are unionizing

these two should consider recruiting David Tennant too (I mean it's only a matter of time before he pops up with one of these)

Man of the people Sir Keir Starmer, Knight of the Realm, and Oxford graduate, rightly highlights in a keynote speech today the “class ceiling” holding back the children of ordinary working families. But what does he intend to do about it?

Will he abolish public schools? NO!

The prerogative of the rich  to buy the best schooling for their children will remain under Sir Keir. Apparently, he might want to “smash” the "class ceiling" but not at the expense of the rich and privileged.

“New research is cementing what many already believe to be true: that students who attend a private school tend to enjoy better university access and better career outcomes upon graduating.”  (Study International: 11/11/19)

Will he provide free school meals for all children? NO!

Despite the fact the governments own research says free school meal provision improves academic performance and future career success by a considerable margin, Sir Kier rejects this option as too costly. Apparently, working class children are not worth spending money on despite Sir Keir’s promise that he wants to “smash" the “class ceiling

“At age 25 years, 23.0% of free school meal (FSM) recipients who attended school in England had recorded earnings above the annualised full-time equivalent of the Living Wage in comparison with 43.5% of those that did not.”  (ons.gov.uk:: education, social mobility and outcomes for students receiving  free school meals in England: 25/01/22)

Will Sir Keir improve teachers pay to both retain existing teachers and to recruit more graduates into the profession. NO!

Not only will he not increase teacher pay, but he has said he does not even know if he can support in full next years pay award to teachers. Apparently, “smashing” the “class ceiling” doesn’t include the retaining and recruitment of teachers due to cost. What results will be bigger class sizes, a factor that harms children’s' academic attainment.

“Bigger classes harming pupils’ progress, say 9 in 10 UK teachers.”   (Guardian: 17/04/22)

Unsurprisingly, Sir Keir’s keynote speech today (06/07/23) on smashing the class ceiling descended into chaos as environmental protestors invaded the stage. Disillusioned with Starmer’s now disavowed pledge to spend  £28billion a year on his green prosperity plan they demanded:

“Stop making U-turns Keir”

Unfortunately, Sir Keir now has a reputation for reneging on past promises. He is a man driven by a lust for power. He will say and promise anything if he thinks it helps him towards that goal. So the chances of him “smashing” the “class ceiling” is virtually zero. He will do nothing to upset the rich and powerful, he will not commit to spending money on any of the social problems ordinary families face because it would mean increasing taxes, especially the taxes of the already wealthy.

Absolutely insane how one of the best thing Argentina has, public universities that are among the best in the world, is constantly boycotted and battling with insanely short budget

Burrows End wouldn’t have the snap that it does if Aabria wasn’t so brilliant at making sure not only do actions have consequences, but that consequences are additive. With every tiny slip tensions rise and the stakes get higher.

Using the so-called debt limit as a club, congressional leaders are pushing for more attacks on the poor. Don’t expect Joe Biden to fight back. Only the people can stop Congress from cutting food stamps and other needed social programs. The AFL-CIO needs to call a new Solidarity Day to fight these vicious cutbacks.
