Tristram Jones-Parry is a British teacher of mathematics. He was headmaster of Emanuel School (1994–1998) and Westminster School. (1998-2005〔 Note: the Daily Mail article claims that a colleague alleged in a valedictory piece for the school magazine that Jones-Parry had "smoked dope with his peers and developed a nicotine dependence" while himself a schoolboy at Westminster. However, (as of 2009) the phrase relating to dope is absent from the copy of that magazine article which appears on the school's website ((pdf ), page 18).〕), two independent schools in the UK. Upon his departure from Westminster, Jones-Parry received a great amount of attachment and approval from staff and pupils. He was depicted as "an excellent leader and educator, who devoted his time entirely for the sake of education rather than to building excessive relationship with external high-society figures, who bears a warm heart under a stern appearance, who will always be remembered for picking up rubbish from the Little Dean's Yard ground." There was rumour that he was in argument with the school council over issues concerning the allocation of funds gathered from benefactors. The council thought the fund should be used for improving school facilities while he was of the opinion that the money should be provided to smart students unable to afford fees. He became involved in media and political controversy in 2004, when on retiring from independent schools at the age of 58, after 30 years' teaching experience, applied to teach in a state school in order to "give a bit back", but was rejected by the General Teaching Council on the basis that he had not completed the PGCE teacher training course which is obligatory for teachers in the state sector but not in the independent schools, insisting also that they were obliged to apply this rule rigidly.〔(This man is head of the top private school in Britain. So why isn't he seen as good enough for the state sector? ). ''The Daily Telegraph''〕 Critics of the decision labelled it “totally absurd”, given Jones-Parry's long teaching experience in leading independent schools, and as Headmaster of Westminster - frequently cited as the most academically successful school in the country. The growing media controversy surrounding the issue, further spotlighted what many saw as a particularly onerous example of bureaucratic pedantry, leading to pressure on the then Education Secretary Charles Clarke from his own advisers to change the rules.〔(State ban on private teachers 'must be scrapped' ) The Times〕 Following a decision that the rules were necessary in order to preserve standards, the National Union of Teachers and NASUWT endorsed it, and the Teacher Training Agency stated that a fast-track route for qualified teachers already exists.〔(Teachers back state ban on private teacher ) ''The Guardian''〕〔(Thinktank raps courses that fail to teach teachers ) ''The Guardian''〕〔(Teaching unions get ready to defend the great divide ) ''The Times''〕 Jones-Parry is now manager of the Oxfordshire Further Mathematics Centre and head of the innovative〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/10818678/School-introduces-no-mornings-policy-for-tired-teenagers.html )〕 independent Sixth Form at Hampton Court House School〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hamptoncourthouse.co.uk/hch/tristram-jones-parry/ ).〕 In 2015 Tristram Jones-Parry was interviewed on BBC Breakfast where he highlighted the benefits of later start times for teenagers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxOr_G1QrqA )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tristram Jones-Parry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
