The General Teaching Council is a rather dubious, government-instituted body which allegedly is about maintaining high standards in the teaching profession.If it were to be fighting against grade dilution, empty initiatives from on high, falling disciplinary standards and the lack of desire to attempt to put right a corrupt system, we should perhaps be able to see some sort of value.
I wonder if you recall an ex teacher by the name of Angela Mason who, in the guise of an ordinary supply teacher, helped in the making of a programme which exposed the glimpse into hell which is the reality in so many classes in so many comprehensives today - and not just in the so-called 'sink' schools.
Presumably, it is on the rather spurious grounds that what she did was done with hidden cameras and recorders that they angrily want to destroy her.
Happily though, she has now left teaching and is earning a crust in an area of life which may allow her to maintain her sanity.
