Leicester NUT

6th January 2010

Imagine

Imagine there's no OFSTED
It's easy if you try
No SSEF to bug us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the learners
Living for today

Imagine no Inspections
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to live in fear of
No limiting judgements too
Imagine all the learners
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday we'll stop them
And our schools will all be fun

Imagine Lead Inspectors
Really teaching for a day
They'd soon learn a lesson
About their cruel ways
Imagine all the learners
Grading them some way

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday we'll stop them
And our schools will all be fun
