Indy 15/7/2014

Primary school sends beautiful letter with exam results to say ‘there are many ways of being smart’ (even if it is a bit unoriginal)
PS Kids: It is okay to plaigerize wholesale if you "lose the link to the original." You do not need attribute, to put the passage in qutoes or even to acknowledge its author.
     PPS: If you are a journalist, you do not need to trace the author (Kimberley Hord Hurst, a primary school teacher in Isanti Minnesota) even though it only takes 5 minutes to find her.

Cabinet reshuffle: Michael Gove ousted after Lib Dems warned they would exploit his unpopularity
About time we replaced him with someone who cares more about teachers than about students. Remember: most students don't vote.

New data Bill: Last-minute rush 'undermines trust in Government intentions'
It is unclear to me whether this legislation reqires the the government to tell ANYONE when it orders a telecom company to release customer data. Not only no judicial oversight, but no oversight at all?
