There is a real paradox at the heart of Labours education policies
On the one hand they issue jejune, even crass advice for parents on how to bring up their children. Read to them for 10 minutes each day
On the other they are outraged by parents who do their best for their children as prescribed by the well educated liberal minded middle classes - providing them with books, outings, computers, conversation (about ideas!). Not to mention pulling out all the stops to get them into good schools
Then they react like naughty children themselves. Yah boo swot! Teachers pet! Who do you think you are?
