www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-27405358The criticism is:- "The study shows that governors are overwhelmingly likely to be white - 96% - with little difference between wealthy and poor areas or between urban and rural schools. They are also likely to be middle class. A large majority of governors are in professional or managerial jobs - and that those who are retired are likely to have been in such professional careers. About a third of governors are not working, usually because they are retired." If they are the only people coming forward what can they expect. As Mr JJ is a governor, I should point out that he spends a couple of hours each week on the role, for which he receives no pay - the other day they had a full day training course to attend, as Mr JJ is self employed that is a whole day's pay we have lost, we'll make it up somehow but how many people can afford to lose a day's pay? It's a thankless task, which people like to criticize, but ask them to do the job and you don't see them for dust.
