A couple of friends have drawn my attention to these discussions, and yes I couldn’t avoid getting involved:

Schools today, good kid, bad kid

How does he know?

The first link is probably best described as a site for liberal Christians. The second is a political blog by a prominent Hackney councillor.

What Others Say About Old Andrew

"Old Andrew is a British secondary school teacher with very strong views and opinions which are always carefully expressed and strongly argued. A very good read (I'm always disappointed when he doesn't post daily, which must be a good sign.)"
- Sarah Ebner, Times online, in The 7 Best Teacher Blogs
"Old Andrew is a tired and frustrated state school teacher - also worth visiting if you need cheering up."
- The Coppersblog Team, The Policeman's Blog, in Spring Cleaning
"Honest, frank, strongly opinionated, Scenes from the Battleground is admirably well researched, topical and rightly inspiring a large following. Ok, so it's already well-known but before you cast me down below, it was one of the best I came across and I couldn't help sharing it with you! Complete with an interactive discussion forum this blog is an invaluable resource for teachers, and I recommend it to you as a great read ... To conclude, this is an eye-opener. A real insight into what goes on within the school gates. More of us need to be aware of what is actually happening in our country's schools these days!"
- Hannah, Blog Listings, in Hannah's Choice for 'Teaching'
"He has recently driven me mad..."
- Snuffy, From Miss With Love, in Old Andrew
