S2 E205-Coroner Says Terror Inducing School Inspections Contributed To Teacher’s Tragic Suicide.

Notes & Links

In a rare admission of responsibility, a coroner said Ofsted’s inspection of Caversham Primary School contributed to Ruth Perry’s suicide.  The coroner made this determination based on the note left behind the teacher.  The note said “I.N.A.D.E.Q.U.A.T.E. keeps flashing behind my eyes.”   Ruth Perry learned that the school she was head teacher was to be downgraded from outstanding to inadequate all because of record keeping issues.  Perry is not the first teacher to suffer at the hands of Ofsted, the organization responsible for inspecting English schools.  The organization is notorious for bullying and terrorizing schools.  Teachers and teacher unions have complained and reported the inspectors lack fairness, respect and sensitivity and at times the inspectors were rude and intimidating.   Fiorella exposes the bullying school inspection organization and how they contributed to the suicide of Ruth Perry.  She will tell you who Ofsted is and who them accountable.  She will reveal how the teachers and the teacher unions are fighting back, and what can be done to reform Ofsted.  Listen to this episode of the Early Show for more details.
