Agree and disagree with this.
I think it's great that unions like the NUT have a firm grounding in good teaching....
BUT, the quest for a better education system must be removed from a body that is in search of better pay and conditions because it allows good points to be hijacked.
For example, the NUT (following the Finnish system) suggests that teachers should teach a maximum four hours per day, and that the rest should be spent planning and implementing an engaging curriculum, marking and running out of school clubs.
You can guess the inevitable response to this - it's about shirking teachers wanted to work less, as opposed wanting to improve learning.
