Technically Speaking

How despicable of the Trotskyist-run NUT to oppose technical schools. No, its members largely would not be suitable to teach in them, since that would be a matter for the skill trades. So what? Unless, of course, they would also be unsuitable to teach in, call them what you will, grammar schools?

And what if the technical schools were like Secondary Moderns? Think of the people you know who went to Secondary Moderns. They are economically and socially active, culturally and politically aware people, all too often in stark contrast to their own children or grandchildren.

The answer to "What about the Secondary Moderns?" is that they were better than what has replaced them. But technical schools would be better still.
