Come on then-admit it.
What wind-up artist up there in North Dorset chose to nominate IPACA on Portland as a Best New Big Business 2016?
My “bird on the wire” out in BBC land, Echoplex tells me that a certain ILR here in the area are considering the claim from some employee up in Holwell or somewhere. talk of Sturring the pot!
Listen Herman!…that bloody Fiction Factory is a disaster from the get-go (as their Communications Monkey would say. None of that English grammar stuff here where the pixies play!). Staff are walking, getting pushed out of the helicopter or reviewing how best to leave and still get paid for Christmas.
It`s honestly like Jonestown of Pyongyang in its sullen, if slavish devotion to “The Vision Thing”. Light sabres, share your loos with the staff and take your chances if you`re a “learner”( as opposed to a kid, or student-oh so 1970s!). The Head Pixie who drives the education of Portland into the sand has form, as do others in the Senior Staff. The kind of Pollyanna timeserver who`s seen many car crashes in the rear view mirror, but always seem not to prang themselves in the process.
Look-education is not schooling, but ALL children deserve an open and accountable education, not one long Soviet psychiatric effort to be the very “Death of Education”. These people should not run a dog kennel, let alone a school where real children, real parents need to be, In order to learn stuff.
The place has foaming floors, still giving splinters to the compulsory “no shoes” footpads. The staff may sing the Company Song, but -boy-do they pay a price for their suppers. The place is hated by the locals, surely to Buddha! And if not-go in and take a look, spend a few hours and see the joyless hippie chick experiments being done on your “learning gateway receptacles”. How did a lab rat monoculture get permission to try all this out on the rump of England? Where were you Portland? Thought you`d KNOW of the New Pirates of Education in the Third Sector!
Watch the staff compete to park their cars (not got permission to park where they were meant to, mere triflings my dear!), race angrily up the hill on bikes, all bullet heads and cheridee riders. These are not “happy rabbits”- there you are, we said it!
They have no educational excuse for what they do, one long project theory with a side of Obama exhortations and PC Whirl. It`s a scandal and a disgrace-and this is our first day back, we can expect lots more Echo and Solent coverage with placards on the gate, bullying down the lane before we`re done here.
And-as ever-no sign of the Church, the Community elders and spokesmen. As if a scholastic abbatoir needs glass walls before they get permission to see what`s happening behind locked gates. The church won`t be improved, so maybe it`ll need to be removed. Not a Gideon in sight-just yet.
So then- NO, I will NOT be voting for Ipaca as Dorsets Best Big New Business Newcomer of 2016. I would rather vote for Robert Maxwell(RIP) , Mike Ashley or even Philip Green.
All awful-but hundreds of kids lives have not been screwed over by any of that lot. Ipaca are doing just that, only hope they`ve still got the keys to the old Royal Manor.
Like the Euro, they built no fallbacks for failure and no escape hatches for fear of being weak. Oh dear.Say goodnight to the folks Pixie!
