I have read and reread this post but can't find anything to celebrate that the government introduced in the name of reform. In particular 2010 saw The Academies Act which turned the state funded education sector into a devisive mash up which now has 40% of pupils educated in multi academy trusts. It is privatisation. It's plain that this government will do nothing to make MATs more accountable.
Great post contextualiIng your work. Classic dilemma: make the best of a fundamentally flawed system, or create a better one. Short term impact vs long term transformation.
I don't believe the metrics problem can be solved in monopolistic systems. But the work you're doing would still be valued in voluntary systems (if they ever emerge) without being used a false substitute for pricing.
So it's real value would be recognized and applied.
