Education, Education, Education: The Best Bits of Ted Wragg

Education, Education, Education: The Best Bits of Ted Wragg

by E.C.Wragg (Author)

Synopsis

When New Labour came into office in 1997, its commitment to 'education, education, education' captured the imagination of the public. This collection of humorous articles by Ted Wragg between 1998 to 2003 exposes the real state of education during this period, when educational policy was never far from the headlines. No one escapes Ted's sharp-shooting wit: from the 'blamers and shamers' who try to turn teacher-bashing into a national pastime to the 'pale policy wonks' in the Department of Education, who issue regular hare-brained initiatives from the mysterious 'Tony Zoffis'. Split into seven issue-focused chapters, this hilarious collection will be a tonic for anyone finding themselves unsure whether to laugh or cry about recent developments in the world of education.

Media Reviews
'His humour is a tonic and an inspiration: the sort that has you gnashing your teeth with rage one minute and clutching your sides with laughter the next.' - Rory Bremner; 'Ted Wragg writes about education (and a lot of other things) with a combination of wit, passion and knowledge that is not equalled by anyone else.' - Neil Kinnock; 'Ted Wragg has achieved more for real improvement in the classroom than all the effort of twenty pieces of legislation, eight Secretaries of State and thousands of circulars...' - Professor Tim Brighouse, Commissioner for London Schools; 'Ted Wragg's column has been essential reading for those who think education is too important to be left in the hands of the politicians,' - Professor Richard Pring, Oxford University
