AS a parent, I feel I must reply to our MP claiming in your paper that increased teacher levels in Worcestershire will have an impact on our children's education.

She is obviously not speaking about Redditch.

I have a friend whose daughter is taking music GCSE at a local school and she has not had a music teacher for the past few months so her parents have had to pay for private tuition.

Is that right Jacqui? What about those parents who cannot pay?

We are seeing that the education system is in a mess. All over the country, teachers are being sacked and in some circumstances, pupils are being sent home because schools cannot afford the staff.

Jacqui and her party promised Education, Education, Education.

Look at your own constituency a bit closer and see what your Government's policies are doing to our children.
