This is a normal post ALL teachers are lazy cunts who have no idea about what they are doing.

This is a normal post Pfft.
He wants schools to improve year-on-year, but without any grade inflation. How this will be measurable is left as an exercise for the reader.

I think he's generally doing the right thing, but he doesn't do himself any favours by being so thoroughly unlikeable.

This is a normal post If by average he means the current average
Then this is a non-issue. Maybe they could have tried clarifying that?
