Education for a Former Educator

Will Howells mentions an article in today's Gruaniad. Why should two Scottish bloggers mention this article about an English Education bill, ie a devolved issue in Scotland? Because this Scottish MP has made this comment.

"I think Ruth Kelly has done a wonderful job with a very, very bad idea, but it’s still a bad idea."

So Michael Connarty, my MP, is not sitting on the fench on this devolved issue. He clearing is coming down still on the side of manure. As a former teacher he may well have a thing or two to say about education. However, will he vote? Will he vote against? I know the Labour whips will be looking for his continued almost unstinting support. Looking at his commnets though I wouldn't be too sure they have it.
