RBS announces today a loss of £3.5bn [that’s BILLION] for 2014 which is a failure, and yet it will be paying out bonuses to staff from a pool of £421m [that’s MILLION].
A school doesn’t meet its targets [that’s OBTUSE NUMERICAL BENCHMARKS] so is put in special measures which is deemed a failure, and staff, mostly teachers, get blamed and undermined and upset and depressed and maybe leave the job or get sacked in forward-thinking Academies [that’s JUST HOW IT IS].
Apparently you have to pay bonuses to bankers to keep them in the job, however poorly they do.
Apparently you can crap all over teachers and they will come back for more [if they survive] because they care.
