An angry headmaster has hit out at highly critical parents in an acid-tongued letter are sent them a UCAS link to apply to become teachers.
Colin Dowland, headmaster of Woodridge Primary School in North Finchley, London, revealed that parents had been writing in to question teachers competence and tell them how to do their jobs .
All schools in Britain are now closed except for the children of key workers - with the majority of the country s pupils now learning from home through online classes.
A primary school headteacher has demanded that “highly critical” parents who consider themselves to be “educational experts” should retrain as teachers. Colin Dowland, the headteacher at Woodridge Primary School in North Finchley, has accused some parents of taking advantage of the remote learning tools by sending critical messages to teachers on how to do their jobs. While children are told to stay at home and continue their education online during the lockdown, parents have been able to overlook the work of pupils and have been hijacking the online tools to criticise teachers. “Parents now have the facility to message teachers directly via our online platforms, to watch teachers teaching their pre-recorded lessons and to comment in real time on live sessions. I hope you have found this unprecedented access to teachers helpful,” the headteacher said.

Primary school teachers in Suffolk have welcomed increased coronavirus testing as a way of relieving anxiety for staff.
Under revised rules, the Government has suggested that all primary school teachers be tested for the virus twice a week with what is known as lateral flow tests.
The tests are designed to detect the virus in people who show no outward symptoms but could be contagious.
Secondary schools were recommended to begin testing at the start of the school term but for many primary schools testing will begin next week.
