Qatada owes his liberty to the laws introduced by Labour. It’s going to cost the taxpayer £5 million to monitor him. What a waste of money.

I’m not condoning him but:

“On the question of why the Palestinian-born Jordanian had never been prosecuted in the UK, Lib Dem peer Lord Macdonald – director of public prosecutions from 2003 to 2008 – told BBC News he had never been shown any evidence to support a criminal prosecution.”

The guy has been in prison since 2002 so no evidence in 5 years?

From BBC Website

I agree with you on that Panda, I know the guy has preached religious justification for violence especially against Christians but does that justify his 5 years in prison?

I think keeping him incarcerated makes him a martyr….and gives his teachings more credence… I’m not sure what the solution is with this guy…. it would be lovely to ship him off to Jordan but I think torture would be used….. but should we be bothered if it is?

I suppose it depends on the number of kids with language needs…. Im not a teacher jen but if almost half the class were unable to understand I think a teaching assistant with language skills would be very useful.

All the other things you suggested … well yes and I expect some of that already happens in schools. I have a feeling though unless you had motivated parents….. which often they are not you would have difficulty enforcing after school classes…. especially if parents had more than one child and were having to collect at varying finishing times.

I do agree though there are many ways of dealing with learning…. I just think withdrawing multi lingual teaching assistants isn’t helpful…. although I can see the argument for limiting their use to only larger groups rather than one to one.

The point I was making in the classroom example I gave is that when you have mixed ability children to the degree that seems common in inner city schools these days its almost impossible to meet the needs of all those children unless a teacher has back up…to consider taking that away is just desperate and Im not sure many teachers would cope for long.

Its Ok to say well kids with additional language needs should have after school classes…. the fact is they don’t. Even if classes were available you cant suddenly make them compulsory…. these are young children who have had quite enough after a full day at school. There are all sorts of logistical problems too… these things don’t happen overnight and the funds are not available either.

Its all well and good to say well it should happen like this or that…. the thing is right now we have to work with the system we have and give the best education possible to mixed ability kids in the system now.. for me the way forward is more classroom assistants and better training for them.

Religion…. inform kids on all religions… but don’t practise any.
