Guardian: from politics to teaching

http://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/sep/01/free-school-21-stratford-peter-hyman





I had left politics, where I had been a strategist to Tony Blair, between 1994 and 2003, and worked my way up from a teaching assistant. I left politics because I wanted something more, to be able to translate vision into reality, to do something where the difference could be felt and touched. What I enjoyed most in politics was what I enjoyed most in education, thinking about ideas, wrestling with the big arguments – what made a great school? What kind of person do we want coming out of schools at 18?
