"Dream Teacher 'advise MPs. Pinch me someone, quick

As I write this, MPs are interviewing "Teacher '\ Jamie Oliver' s TV" School "on student behavior. These include David Starkey calm, which is known to use a fat joke in troubled students.

The education select committee appears to believe that "while dream school had only 20 students, many of the challenges that they find and their teachers over in the UK, and in other schools and colleges as well as".

Marvellous. While the cast of Casualty sorts the NHS, perhaps the residents of the Big Brother house could advise MPs on prisoner voting?
