Perhaps if you backed up that statement with where you think 'everything fits'. Only then can we judge you!

Nothing ever fits with Gove. He is a dangerous idealogue who is trying to impose policies that will set education in this country back by decades. He must be removed, and the sooner the better.

Absolutely spot on. He is far from stupid, but nasty, dangerous and manipulative. The darling of the right.

I suppose one of the things he wants to achieve is a level of literacy that sees everyone in the country know how to spell "Michael".

its funny you say that, because i think thats exactly his objective: returning education to a perceived halcyon time of O and A level being an international benchmark. i dont know if that realistic, either in history or future. what i do know is i was hearing some ideas proposed of curriculum objectives the other day and shocked that they werent already the standard, things i took as given from my education in the 80s/90s. anywho, right love him, left hate him, which probably makes him a rare breed these days, a conviction politician.
Genuinely dangerous for education. His 'proposals', and there are sometimes 3 or 4 major announcements per week, are so ill-thought through that often they cannot be implemented. He doesn't seem to listen to sensible advice and clearly has his eyes on Cameron's job. The uncertainty he creates makes it hard for schools to plan and this is terrible for our children who deserve to know what qualifications they are working towards and what options they have.
As a teacher, I believe he is seeking to undermine confidence in the profession as a vendetta against one of the few remaining unions of strength. It feels personal.
I used to think he simply wanted to make all schools like the ones he went to. I don't think even he knows the direction he wants education to go in any more and that is bad news. He needs to be moved away or, better still, voted out before he does any more harm.

I was going to agree with every word except I think you made a Freudian slip and meant 'political pawn'!
