Much Ado About Not Much, My Post & The Current Pupil's V
Thanks for posting the link NYC:

So the governors have appointed a commitee, made up of a number of governors, who have interviewed the current teachers found implicated by Townend.
And found theyre all fine to continue teaching.
Hang on - This board of Governors is chaired by, and includes 4 members who were responsible for the schools during the period in question. Who Townend found had failed to govern, and who Townend found could not do their job as they were being controlled by the SES.
Theyre still here - theyre still in charge, and now theyre making decisions on how to deal with stuff thats been caused by their own irresponsibility.
Is it just me or....?

Well, sugarloaf, what you need to understand is that a potter needs two hands to make a pot. The hand inside the pot is love and the hand that shapes the pot is discipline. The lump of clay is, of course, the pupil. Now, some potters may be a little over-zealous with the discipline hand but as long as they make a nice pot, it doesn't really matter if the lump of clay gets bashed about a bit. After all, the potter loves the clay.
I hope that clears up any confusion.

So...how do you show love to a pot?...ram your fist inside it...yep, I can see how that analogy works for them!

The governors appointed a committee of the governors to make recommendations to the governing body.
So they've all asked some of them to make recommendations to all of them.
I don't think appointing a disciplinary action committee to make recommendations to the governing board is such a wacko idea, but presumably Roger Pincham as the Chair decided who was ON the committee, and he shouldn't be part of any decision-making about the inquiry since he is one of the subjects of the inquiry. The other key question, completely unanswered on the iirep.com site, is who among the board was on the committee?
And a big toast to the ex-students over the Channel 4 report! I just listened to it online, no video. Finally, some actual reporting instead of articles which merely reprint text from the iirep.com and stjamesinquiry.org sites.
The inquiry would never have happened without you "hardened activists!" Cheers!

Yes, it makes a lot of sense. Some, of course, prefer the analogy of the cricket ball and the head, or the fist and the face.
