" Great. Why do we pay our dues to an impotent organisation? This is not a political issue. It is one directly connected to teaching and teachers. The clue should be in the name of the venerable organisation. Perhaps these people should take a break from organising conferences and get involved in real issues that affect us. I await the inevitable fallout that this short rant will bring in its wake.
