Fiona Miller and I went at it again last week, this time in a Question Time-style debate for Teachers TV. Also on the panel were Mary Bousted, General Secretary of the ATL, Rachel Wolf of the New Schools Network, and John Murphy, the Executive Principal of Oasis Academy Coulsdon. The topic was whether parents should be encouraged to get more involved in education -- and, in particular, whether they should be allowed to set up schools. It was a stimulating discussion in which all sides got a fair crack of the whip. You can see the debate here.
