Roll on the glorious future

Sir: As a teacher in a secondary school for the last 18 years, my response to the article by Mr Balls about the government’s educational achievements (‘No child left behind’, 14 June) was probably similar to that of a worker on a collective farm on learning of the Soviet government’s latest figures for agricultural production. I can only look forward with joy to the next Five Year Plan.
