#hpchapteraday Fudge & Umbridge clearly illustrate the perils of #governmentineducation. This is what happens when gov't tries to control & direct education rather than supporting those who know what education should be & what works best in education-educators. We need to take this lesson to ❤️ & pressure our gov'ts to properly fund education, to guard against abuse, but ultimately to let educators do what they do-educate.
Being a teacher for close to 25 years #governmentineducation has been on ongoing battle. Just like Hogwarts we are constantly given directives from people with no experience in education except for the fact that they went to school. And like the book the interference is usually due to someone trying to gain something, but not actually benefit the students. I love to hate Umbridge. #hpchapteraday
In a chapter full of injustice and scary implications, here is a high point. McGonagall versus Umbridge. It's a moment of victory that's important for Harry to observe.
