I totally agree with you about the Ofsted inspections. They don't get a proper impression of the school anyway. And yes it's often a struggle to manage on far less equpiment than would be ideal and then some little ratbag destroying what little there is.

I know it's non PC but I think the main problem in schools is caused by the teachers no longer having authority over unruly pupils because they are no longer permitted to punish them. In my day the mere threat of a physical punishment was often enough deterrant.
