Hi Maddy
My kids aren't in secondary school yet so can't comment. Their primary education however has thus far been wonderful. Much more varied and interesting than my day. They do a lot of creative things and thinking.
The UK as a society is on the whole very creative in many areas and individuality is encouraged. I think our education system should continue to support this. This approach should allow us to adapt into the future.

Sir, the absorbing question you pose I last addressed at Dublin in the Michaelmas Term Commencement of 1856. I take it you agree that the burthen of your question embraces the cultivation of the intellect, as an end which may reasonably be pursued for its own sake, and extends to the nature of that cultivation.
Truth of whatever kind is the proper object of the intellect; its cultivation then lies in fitting it to apprehend and contemplate truth. Now the intellect in its present state, mine own excepted, does not discern truth intuitively, or as a whole. We know, not by a direct and simple vision, not at a glance, but, as it were, by piecemeal and accumulation, by a mental process, by going round an object, by the comparison, the combination, the mutual correction, the continual adaptation of many partial notions, by the employment, concentration and joint action of many faculties and exercises of mind. Such a union and concert of the intellectual powers is necessarily a matter of training, And again, such a training is a matter of rule and discipline.
But, my good Sir, I have already far exceeded your boundaries and fear that an hundred words can afford no more than a preamble to your requirement. I have no doubt that many of my circle may prevail upon me to return to this discourse in our bicentennial memorial, so I too must petition your patience and forebearance until Michaelmas of 2056. In the interim, it is with regret that I abandon your enquiry to the tender mercies of the Utilitarians who seem about to take up your gauntlet.

Back to the original post. Is there evidence he payed back the money ?
Gove's wealth is estimated at £1 million.
Michael Gove claimed £7,000 for furnishing a London property before 'flipping' his designated second home to a house in his constituency, a property for which he claimed around £13,000 to cover stamp duty. Around a third of the first £7,000 were spent at an interior design company owned by Gove's mother-in-law. Gove also claimed for a cot mattress, despite children's items being banned under the Commons rule. Gove said he would repay the claim for the cot mattress, but maintained that his other claims were "below the acceptable threshold costs for furniture" and that the property flipping was necessary "to effectively discharge my parliamentary duties", While he was moving between his multiple homes, he stayed at the Pennyhill Park Hotel and Spa, charging the taxpayer more than £500 per night's stay.
In December 2010, in an article in the Daily Telegraph, he claimed that "Like Chairman Mao, we’ve embarked on a Long March to reform our education system", apparently unaware that Mao's cultural revolution closed China's education system for ten years and led to the deaths of many teachers

Yes, I suppose 'hammering Gove' was the original post and since he seems to have conflated Mao's Long March with Mao's Cultural Revolution any GCSE History student is eligible to give him a hammering over a cot mattress.
