Dear Virginia, I've recently learnt that my 11-year-old daughter sent a vile email to a boy at her school. The boy's mother says my daughter used foul language and wrote that she'd like to kill him slowly and painfully, after he stopped 'going out' with another girl. My daughter is charming and I know she didn't mean this, but on email, everything can get twisted. She wrote this email with a friend, but doesn't seem to understand how out of order it was. How can I explain? Yours sincerely, Felicity

Ofsted is an organisation with an obsession. It exists to inspect and assess every state school in the country and write reports about whether they are "outstanding" or "inadequate" or something in between. But how can it tell? How can you look at the baggy monster of a modern academic hall, with 750 short, noisy and stroppy individuals streaming in and out (and that's just the teachers) and say anything meaningful about its virtues and vices? How can you make any useful judgements when you have only a day or two to inspect classrooms, gyms, science blocks, staffroom, library, assembly hall, bike sheds and correctional facility? Especially when Ofsted always tells its victims that they're coming in a week's time, to check for signs of woodworm/drugs/Creationism.
