• Teachers will be even more regulated, not just in what they teach but how they teach it.
Parents are offered more places on school governing bodies, and representation on Education Committees, but without structures linking them to the mass of parents these are largely token.
• There is no place in Labour's thinking for pupils as young people with gender, ethnic, sexual and class identities, bringing to the classroom their own experiences and purposes.
As a result, the opportunity is missed to release the creativity of teachers, pupils and parents working democratically together to radically reshape working class • Selection - old and new forms of selection will combine to favour middle class children and young people at the expense of the working class (with some ethnic minority groups particularly hit).
Management by threat - in particular, the crude victimisation of "failing teachers" and "failing schools" as scapegoats for a system which inevitably creates a few "winners" and many more "losers".
But it is not just a defensive struggle. Excellence in Schools offers New Labour's 'can-do' vision of education - what is our alternative?
The Education Action Zones initiative is an opportunity for the left to put forward its own ideas for what an education in the interests of working people could begin to look like.
