00:00Hi I'm Theo and this is People on the Street. Today I'm out in Manchester asking people
00:03about school league tables. Now similarly to Ofsted there's been questions over whether
00:08league tables help or hinder schools from being able to develop themselves and the kids
00:13that they educate. So we want to know whether people think it's a good idea or whether they'd
00:16like to see some sort of change in the system.
00:19So I think Ofsted should be disbanded, done away with and teachers left to teach in schools.
00:26I mean yeah just let the teachers do their thing, let them learn and do their training.
00:29I mean the best I could say is maybe just have, instead of it being a big graded thing,
00:33just have people come in, watch and then just leave it at that. You don't need to make a
00:36grade, just have them watch so that they know it's all done alright and then if anything's
00:40particularly bad they can say you've got to stop it.
00:42My wife is a retired primary school teacher and hated SATs, hated Ofsted. She just loved
00:49children, she loved learning and teaching children. I've been a school governor for
00:5313 years. I don't think Ofsted are worth anything like the salaries they get.
