Teachers can fix the rail system

https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/teachers-can-fix-rail-system
Now that Jarvis plc, which through its Jarvis Rail arm is a major player in railway maintenance, has been awarded a seven-figure contract to help pull round failing schools through a new education division, I see great opportunities ahead. I eagerly await the formation of a local education authority “rail maintenance division”, whereby bunches of teachers who would rather face the oncoming train, as it were, than the next class of recalcitrant pupils might find less stressful employment.
