Teachers protest over cuts to school building programme

Teachers, councillors and pupils are joining protests over the axing of England's school rebuilding programme.

Led by trade unions, the Save Our Schools lobby will urge ministers to reconsider the move which led to the halting of 735 school projects.

I find it disturbing that pupils aka children are indoctrinated into a scheme such as this.
A pupil aka child does not or rarely cannot comprehend the ins and outs of politics and schooling, were they educated by partisan and unbiased teachers? Or where they taught by the same teachers going on this march?!

On the One O'Clock News a pupil was interviewed, no other people, and was the second most important news item!
Do you know what his response was? "The cracks on the walls distract me from doing my work and stuff!"
Oh how very well thought out, please David Cameron send all my money to this kid's school!

The BBC cannot comprehend that there needs to be enough public money to bring projects into fruition. I wonder why........oh yeah it's the BBC!

So they do not focus on the deficit left by the previous government that makes continuing their projects unattainable, they prefer to show the disappointment caused. When you run a search of BSF on the BBC website, which is the particular building programme referred to, it appears that they have a separate article for each county or city affected in Britain.

Does this reek of bias - definitely! After all, one article covering a list of counties affected would have sufficed, but the BBC clearly have an axe to grind.

The number of programs and topics covered on the BBC's TV channels reflects exactly their bias, like you said no such programs were made when the last gov. caused this mess nor any information as to why we are in this mess!
