Letter: Patten's refusal

Sir: John Patten has called representatives of the nation's parent- teacher association 'neanderthal'. Isn't that a little ironic? You don't have to be a biologist to know that parents are a more durable species than Secretaries of State for Education and their reforms.

Yours sincerely,
