At last

[MrMarkyMark]

God, what the hell is happening to me?

That's twice today I've almost agreed with Sas about something!

For the first time in over forty years, I'd better make an appointment with my GP

At least we know either:-

a) the Prozac is working.
b) The Mrs. put some MDMA in your tea

It's all about your utility to society.
The maths teacher, if he's any good, will teach hundreds of kids, a few of which will go on to become filthy rich, like us IT contractors.
Thus benefiting society more.
The GP might save a handful of lives, but most of it is prescribing creams and pills.

yes but any one of those lives might develop the cure for cancer or cure cretinism in AssSnobs.

Both have benefits. However its unlikely the Maths Teacher will ever kill anyone during a lecture.

So we have reasoned that the NHS is fecked and it is the fault of brexit?

Honestly?

You appear to have reasoned this, but that may just be the drink talking.

The NHS is fecked through a series of terrible decision, first and foremost by the Blair/Brown axis of incompetence and their FPI tomfoolery then the GP legislation. Throw in too many managers and targets over treatment and you're at a position where people are now looking for scapegoats rather than solutions.

Shame Suity is out of the contracting game, difficult to replace those with such expertise

You really think that's how a Head of Maths operates? Wow.

Probably not, but we're not exactly weighed down with a surplus of Maths gurus, are we? Just enough education so as not to fail the Ofsted inspection, and that'll do, seems to be the mantra du jour.

They're punitively obstructed by the league tables with headteachers insisting that unfortunately they have to teach kids how to pass GCSEs rather than actually learn maths.
