I bet all of the parents with children in her school absolutely admire this woman, just the sheer passion she has about her job and education is absolutely refreshing and extremely rare this day in age. Which is bizarre, you would think educating our children and the next generation would be paramount over all else.
A politician telling one of the country’s best head teachers on how to run her school, it’s absolutely laughable how stupid this government actually are. Respect to this head teachers
There's nothing that Labour will not mess with. They are a complete shambles, with ministers in job's who are not competent. They will ruin everything in the end.❤Ruth
This lady is incredible the amazing work that she has done in education speaks for itself. To think someone dares to interfere in what is a success story is deplorable. Leave her and education alone .Instead watch and learn from those that know in other words the experts. Education minister take a breath and listen to the words of Gandhi . Do not make changes for changes sake.
Katherine is an excellent teacher she always stick's up for her beliefs and as for uniform I totally agree with her it teaches children respect and belonging and the poorer children aren't dressed any different to the richer children keep it up Katherine you are amazing x
Yes. Homeschooling however you can do it and teach these girls the danger of ggangs. Teach them how to protect themselves and teach them who to tell when they see anything that isn't right
Labour wants to ban homeschooling. One of the reasons Academies are so successful is that they design their own curriculum, labour doesn't like that, lacks indoctrination!
Yes, but this new register could potentially destroy what makes home education so amazing. Intrusive questions and limiting opportunities to home educated children. Have a read of the section relating to children in school in the schools bill.
School uniform is very important. It makes everyone in the school equal. No competition for the latest fashion trends, expensive trainers, etc. That causes division, problems and makes those that are poor feel even more ostracised. Bullying ensues. If you all wear the same then no one knows how rich or poor you are. It is also easy for parents as they know exactly what their children need to wear each day. Supermarkets sell cheap uniform, second hand sales abound in most schools. It is the parents duty to feed and clothe their children. As Katherine said, it gives the children a sense of belonging, of being part of a community which supports each other. For some children it is the only constant in their lives. It also enforces discipline. If you start with being strict about uniform then everyone knows that there are certain things you have to conform to whether you like it or not and that is real life, a valuable lesson every child should learn early, or they will be lost in the adult world.
I used to go to a very respected Comp in South Wales. Many parents moved to get their kids into this school. Since the pandemic they decided to drastically alter the uniform to something very dark, uninspiring and convenient. So much so the attitude of the kids looks dowdy, scruffy, miserable and not motivated. The School appears to have taken a downward shift and no longer looks like the professional school of years gone by. God help them!
This conversation can be repeated when speaking about business, farming, public sector pay and performance and many other things which this government is affecting without any idea of what they are doing, or if they do have an idea, that's even more worrying. Katharine has more kudos, common sense and leadership qualities than the whole of the present government put together. Imagine how great this country could be with a cabinet full of people of KB's ability? She's an absolute star.
The problem arose in the poor areas when Labour got rid of grammar schools and technical colleges and clever working class kids were deprived of the opportunities ....for some reason Germany KEPT that system....
Never again should England have a lawyer as a prime minister all they see is rules and that's how they think rules for this rules for that. Kier starmer is living proof that democracy should not be dictated by rules.
Katherine is doing a magnificent job in the face of terrible pressures. The plan to decolonise the curriculum is an attempt to rewrite history in an image that Labour and extreme left wing individuals desire. The issue that she will have is the ever increasing activism with teachers out there who haven’t a clue beyond their mindset.
Katharine Birbalsingh is brilliant and talks with a lot of sense…she may have quite a problem though, Bridget Phillipson the Secretary of State for Education will try to force her own ways onto Headteachers.
6:22 pulled the money!! Idiotic thinking. They have no idea of educating children. Katherine had given an excellent example of their disruption to real people. Hats off to Katherine - she must be heard and backed up . 👏🏽💪🏾❤😊
My own Secondary Modern School got better A level results ,year on year than the prestigious Public school that dominated the town. This was the 70s under a Tory council. The stategy to hobble the school, was to remove the 6th form and put a yes man headmaster in charge, when the much admired headmaster retired. It worked. When you have an exceptional state school , independent or grammar school it embarrasses the rest,exposes the shortcomings of the system and has to go.The status quo of indifference, has to be maintained,both Labour and the Tories understand this.
The French used to have that kind of curriculum whereby the Education Minister knew exactly what kids were studying at any particular minute of the day. If that is still true, how does the UK rate against the French in Maths, Science etc?
THIS WOMAN IS AN ANGEL..... THE LABOUR PARTY IS TRYIN TO MAKE ALL SCHOOLS IDENTICAL.... SO THEN THEY HOPE TO MASS FORCE THEIR LOONATICK LEFTY WOKERY UPON THESE POOR INNOCENT CHILDREN.... IF I WAS YOU PARENT'S..... HOME SCHOOL IS THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW YOUR KID'S ARE NOT GETTIN BRAINWASHED..... GOODLUCK GUY'S❤❤❤❤
Step 1. to make sure this reaches as many kids as possible they applied VAT in private schools so that many kids will be forced to change to state schools. Step 2. Enforce a curriculum that cannot be amended by teachers If that's not trying to brainwash young minds in large masses I don't know what is.
School uniforms are more cost effective for parents than ordinary clothes. Another positive outcome is less strife between teenage girls with regard to their appearance. All schools should be required to prescribe a uniform (a winter and a summer outfit ) for their pupils.
My daughter's academy just received its second outstanding OFSTED report last week. It's a wonderful school, and most pupils, including my daughters, are proud to be there. I can only think that Keir Starmer is personally jealous of this real positive that came out of the Conservative time in government. It's a very sad state of affairs. LEAVE IT ALONE Keir Starmer's government; it is not yours to destroy. Also, the teachers have a real love for the academy, they have many pre-school and after-school clubs of all descriptions and they are for FREE!! Many of them are run by the teachers who work at the school all day. Why? Because they are paid what they should be paid and are proud of the work they do and the pupils at the school.
This lady is a role model ,if only all schools had someone like her in every school.Academies have been a disaster,they are run by people who haven’t a clue about teaching children.What they do ,they take over good schools ,make it difficult for the teachers ,who in return take off sick or leave .Then they bring in their own teachers and say they have made improvements..I would love to know how many children know the times tables without their phones when they leave school .It is know use saying with modern technology it’s not necessary,because it is .
The trouble is that Phillipson is not an educator. She has zero background in education and frankly doesn't know what she's doing. I'm all for an overhaul of education but this isn't the way to do it. We need to start by understanding what skills children are going to need in the 2030s, 2040s and beyond. Then, once we've worked that out, we need the top educators to make recommendations as to how to ensure the best possible system to give the kids the skills they're going to need. I'll tell you one thing, tick box fact-based exams are not going to cut it in the future. We need an education system that is fit for the age of AI and not based on a Victorian model. A complete overhaul, with an emphasis on attainment, creative thinking and problem solving, AI as a tool etc. Because many jobs will disappear in the next 20 years - stop educating for the past and start educating for the future.
What Education should be about. The lady knows whereof she speaks. Go back to Labour's hatred of Grammar Schools , ergo hatred of elitism , achievement and excellence. " Oh no , we can't have that ....!"😢
Wonderful commonsense from this outstanding, passionate headteacher. She is a beacon of light and hope in a crazy world. Her results say it all. She is admired the world over. Why isn't Labour listening to those at the sharp end, be it farmers, business owners, pensioners, energy producers, hospitality employers, the tourism industry, the building industry, etc etc. None of the Labour ministers have had a proper job. They appear to be driven by student union ideology. This wonderful lady will be gone.
Reform UK and this headmistress should put their heads together and plan a U-turn for the Department of Education. Replace indoctrination with education. Equip learners with skills that will broaden their career choices. Develop their individual talents. Give young people what they lack eg HOPE for the future. Being able to earn a good living will enable them to marry, own a house, raise a family, should they choose to do so. This is urgent because the fabric of life is unravelling in the UK.
What is wrong with recyclable/ preloved school uniforms. The days when we could sew on badges to affordable clothing are long gone... it is compulsory to buy uniform only from the school which cost an arm and a leg to fund the school budget.
What the hell does Phillipson know about education, university, then working for a charity with her mother, how does that experience give her the tight to do this. Barbilsign is a great teacher.
Labour aren't interested - period - asking them to understand and change their policies is frankly for the birds. They don't need to go and 'see' these things - because they know the tried and tested format exists just as you and I do - their mission is to deliberately destroy the mould. They WANT to destroy it!
Katherine should be education secretary
I will go further in saying she should be Prime Minister!
This lady is old school. These methods work and there is total respect from students, teachers and parents.
Well said
Since Antony Crosland in the sixties it’s been obvious Labour do not want the working class educated.
The idea that Labour care about the working classes is a tragi-comedic idea.
That's right they took our money in Union subs then wouldn't let us put food on the table then closed our industry, and it goes on
Labour plan for anything that works, is 'break it'
Tragedy not tragi-comedy, as tragi-comedies have happy endings. I have no confidence there will be any happy endings with this government.
They never did, it was all just gaslighting
Starmer and Labour are very BAD news.
So is Khan....
and Badenoch and the tories are GOOD news i suppose?
@@DavesFootballChannelno, they're both awful.
@@AJ-ch6fu that's what i mean!
@@DavesFootballChannel they are not good but better then labour.
Katharine is a legend ! She's the one they should be listening to
In a failed state, the people are abandoned by their own government.
Labour have clearly shown that they are part of the Raving Lunatics of the extreme left.
Excellent Teacher. Would make the perfect education secretary.!
this immigrant is ok as she's criticising labour, but people thought differently when she supported Michael Gove's policies
The pursuit of excellence should be a classless pursuit and desirable. Katherine is an inspirational head teacher .
I bet all of the parents with children in her school absolutely admire this woman, just the sheer passion she has about her job and education is absolutely refreshing and extremely rare this day in age. Which is bizarre, you would think educating our children and the next generation would be paramount over all else.
Yep, what a woman!
Every school in the UK needs a Head like this wonderful woman!
How ironic, an education secretary who was never educated.
Just like the CoE. Not being an economist. The whole front bench needs to go
Love Katherine's comments. Yes, taking away freedoms is a cornerstone in both labour and tories.
If only our politicians and elites had the morals of this woman the country would be in a much better place.
Great women we should learn from this fantastic lady
Katherine an inspiration to all sane people.
Katherine you are so right ! Why are people in positions they are totally not qualified for.
Thank you Katherine.
A politician telling one of the country’s best head teachers on how to run her school, it’s absolutely laughable how stupid this government actually are.
Respect to this head teachers
Couldn't agree more. 👍
Labour believe they know what's best for us and what we should be thinking
@@reubenjuster627 You know it! 👍
There's nothing that Labour will not mess with. They are a complete shambles, with ministers in job's who are not competent. They will ruin everything in the end.❤Ruth
I love Katharine, what an amazing woman.
Another government minister who hasn’t got a clue
Good teacher .plain common sense
Katherine speaks good common sense
Quality lady.
Katharine Birbalsingh, one of the best, if not the best, teacher in the UK. What she has acheived in her school is remarkable.
I think Birblesingh is excellent, it’s such a shame we don’t have more decent teachers like her in this country
This lady is incredible the amazing work that she has done in education speaks for itself. To think someone dares to interfere in what is a success story is deplorable. Leave her and education alone .Instead watch and learn from those that know in other words the experts. Education minister take a breath and listen to the words of Gandhi . Do not make changes for changes sake.
They found a teacher who isn't woke..
Katherine is an excellent teacher she always stick's up for her beliefs and as for uniform I totally agree with her it teaches children respect and belonging and the poorer children aren't dressed any different to the richer children keep it up Katherine you are amazing x
I watched the interview Andrew Gold did with Katherine on his channel, she is the right kind of head teacher putting the children first
She's incredibly inspirational and should be held up as a beacon of excellence for ALL educators to emulate.👏👏👏👏
Katherine's BRILLIANT! Nothing but good sense - and balls! Amazing.
I would love to have attended her school.
Katharine Birbalsingh is an inspirational, successful educator. The education secretary, on the other hand, is clueless.
Why is my GP surgery asking patients to wear masks again ,I thought it was said that they were of no use.
The age of medical enlightenment died with COVID. Our elders and betters have gone back to believing in miasmas.
Your right the infection can spread even through your eyes, so technically you should wear a body suit, like in the movie ET
Well said that woman. Respect.
I think the future for parents is to homeschool their kids 💯
Yes. Homeschooling however you can do it and teach these girls the danger of ggangs. Teach them how to protect themselves and teach them who to tell when they see anything that isn't right
Labour wants to ban homeschooling. One of the reasons Academies are so successful is that they design their own curriculum, labour doesn't like that, lacks indoctrination!
Yes, but this new register could potentially destroy what makes home education so amazing. Intrusive questions and limiting opportunities to home educated children. Have a read of the section relating to children in school in the schools bill.
It's definitely starting to look that way.....
There's an old saying, if it isn't broken don't try to fix it.
Why do these politicians think that they know best?
God complex
Power.

This is the change you all voted for
Excuse me! I have never nor will I ever vote for Labour. Please do not insult me with such a statement.
Goverments have not invested properly in inferstructure since the 1970s
Nice to see this guy on the program come back we need him in kidsgrove
Katherine 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🕊️

These people dont do house calls they work from a spreadsheet sitting in an office with no windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have alot of admiration for this lady! You are an inspiration to all Katherine.

Jonathan good to listen to she is wonderful
Another person who knows what she's talking about so Labour will ignore her!
if the people demand a local election the council have to capitulate and allow them
6:22 pulled the money!! Idiotic thinking. They have no idea of educating children. Katherine had given an excellent example of their disruption to real people. Hats off to Katherine - she must be heard and backed up . 👏🏽💪🏾❤😊
Schools should band together and ignore the legislation. What is the government going to do? Stop funding? Let’s see how that goes.
They are coming for the children
Fabulous woman for all children 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

They're political amateurs. Finding out as they go along.
Arrogant attitude and questionable IQ really bad combination on display here- didn't even consult teachers!
Labour want us all to read from the exact same hymn sheet. Not allowed to have your own ideas and thoughts anymore
Exactly 😮
Reduction of state communism to the levellers is what we are getting on Education from Labour.
Love this woman. No nonsense common sense backed up by front line expertise of the highest order.
I like this teacher , Katherine 👏👏
If only she was education secretary. If I had young kids I would homeschool if Phillipson gets her way.

Instead of raising education up to Grammar level schools, comprehensives from mid-70s have lowered them down to the "U & Fs" in old grades!🤷♀️🤦♀️👎😂
Comprehensive’s are SH. T . Typical Labour meddling.
School uniforms are more cost effective for parents than ordinary clothes. Another positive outcome is less strife between teenage girls with regard to their appearance. All schools should be required to prescribe a uniform (a winter and a summer outfit ) for their pupils.
Labour don't want people to excel they are less likely to vote Labour.
Exactly. They don't want entrepreneurs, farmers or any one with any aspirations. Treacherous PM and his Motley crew. Take care.
Why are immigrants being aloud to watch kids do p.e through fences of schools?
