"I want to give pupils responsibility for, and ownership of, their own learning. I want parents, many of whom are disengaged, to become pro-active partners in the process."
Doesn't sound socialist to me. Sounds like something Newt Gingrich would say.
You missed the part about scrapping the national curriculum (a set of facts all students should know) and eliminating tests in favor of teaching "relating to people" (PC talk for learning all about minorities). If you let the students "manage their own learning" they will end up not knowing at all who Oliver Cromwell is but very thoroughly acquainted with Laura Croft.
