Some, perhaps most, directed heads may be quite happy to have TVEI in their schools, others may not, but being directed to take part is an unequivocal statement about the employeremployee relationship between LEA and head. Leach & Fulton, 1984). These will now be very briefly described. Although, as yet, we have no evidence to support the speculation, it is tempting to suggest that 'Abdicators' would get some satisfaction from saying, 'I told you so' were the scheme to run into difficulties.
There seem to be two main reasons for this. In wider society work patterns are changing and shortterm contracts are becoming more usual and acceptable (and even preferable to some people) so it may be that heads who use the above argument are somewhat out of touch. Also, by not involving others, heads can be seen to be retaining control of TVEI. Being in this position meant that they were potentially able to 'edit', and on a less conscious level, personally interpret information about TVEI.
Admittedly timetabling is a difficult job, particularly as staffs are shrinking and it is ironical that falling rolls have sometimes meant an increase in pupil teacher ratios. This means that students are missing the guidance and counselling sessions which their peers in other schools say are among the most valuable aspects of the course. Where this has occured (in schemes evaluated by the Open University) the LEAs have allowed the schools to continue to be involved on the understanding that integration is the ultimate aim.
