        @BBCNews @nick_clegg so what's the point of a 'national curriculum' that's not national?

        @BBCNews Yes, free to let children down. Free to ignore what education is for. Free to employ people who don't know what they're doing.

        @BBCNews @nick_clegg Teaching is not as easy as people think. It takes a lot of skill and training. Very offensive to say anyone can do it.
