Basically a faith school in the North-East of England is performing fantastically well. But because it is a state school and some of its leading teachers believe in a six day creation, many liberals have nothing but bile to hurl at it.

Old lawyer joke is on point regarding the bile throwing.

When the law is on your side - pound on the law.
When the facts are on your side - pound on the facts.

When neither are on your side - pound on the table. Or hurl bile.

Vile, aren't the Libs?

It's a shame the UK schools can't be as effective and forward thinking as our schools here in the US.

Here, we've discovered that the secret to successful education is to implement a government controlled monopoly with a minimum amount of accountability for instructors, with funding levels tied to political donations for the democratic party.

Of course we also have implemented wide scale grade inflation, social advancement (grade promotion of those students that do not meet the qualifications), and policies that prohibit local control of the school systems funding (in spite of the fact that the schools are funded locally) while simultaneously preventing any non-performing teacher from being fired for anything short of felony grade criminal behavior. (and only then after a lengthy and costly review)

I guess those may also be contributing to the stunning success of our public schools as well.

But in the end I think the real trick to making sure your education system is of the highest quality is to make sure it's totally controlled by the teachers unions. After all look what the unions did for your coal industry.

You should really take your education reform cue from us.
