I have some sympathy for the present Government, and the latest furore about dismantling the previous administration's "Building Schools for the Future" programme has only served to re-enforce this.
Indeed, my own feeling is that the very Department for Children, Schools and Families - sometimes known as the Department for Carpets and Soft Furnishings by the teaching profession I understand - needs to be dismantled and restored to the status of an Education Department.
Instead of the carpets, I want the new Education Secretary to roll out his programme of "Deep Thinking", not least amongst those senior civil servants who were presumably responsible for wrongly briefing him - no surprise there ! - on the suspension of some BSF projects.
