"White working-class boys are being consigned to the educational scrapheap because politically-correct ministers and officials are ignoring their poor performance, members of the ATL claimed yesterday.They said boys from low-income homes do significantly worse in exams than any other group of pupils but their plight is being "overlooked" by Labour and the liberal establishment."
Guess what happens when your special "initiatives" to help: girls, blacks, asians, gypsies et al divert monies from ordinary kids? - Yes, this!
STOP all special treatments of various groups. It is not only unfair BUT it backfires.
Now challenged, the government response will inevitably be to 'set up an initiative' which will target certain working class children. What will be the initiative after that one? And the one after that?
John Enoch Powell once said: " If you try to help everybody you inevitably end up helping nobody."
What needs to happen is that all this rubbish be ditched and the hundreds of millons - perhaps billions - saved should help cut class sizes, which is yet one more Labour failure.
