Since the chronic shortages of teachers in the State school sector is widely known, will Mr Blunkett please fill the numerous places in local Hove schools for which we taxpayers have paid our dues before he worries about teaching the migrant children?

Surely our children's human rights have first priority on any extra teachers who suddenly appear to be available?

We taxpayers must have first claim on any teachers for our children's schools.
