A Licence To Teach WTF Balls

'Licence to teach' to be required in schools; by none other than Liar-Balls himself:

Under the plans, teachers will face checks every five years to ensure they are fit to teach under reforms outlined by the government...

To keep the licence, teachers have to demonstrate that they have "up-to-date skills and learning to be effective in the classroom".

What the fuck are 'up-to-date skills'? How many ways are there of teaching? Perhaps they'll introduce Proficiency in the Use of Tasers, for example.

More fannying about by New Labour, as usual, more paperwork, more cost, more hoops to jump through, more shit.
