Schools across Brighton and Hove took their battle | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
on budget cuts public today, by unfurling banners claiming | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
they'll have a devastating impact on education in the city. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
It's the latest in a series of high-profile Sussex campaigns | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
calling for more cash for local schools. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
# Sending out an SOS, someone has to save our schools #. | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
Is it another sting in the tail for the government | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
We're horrified at the cuts that are going to happen | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
We feel it's going to have a detrimental affect | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
on my children and all the future children and therefore | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
We do coding a lot, so that could lead to like, a coding future. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
But then if we didn't do that, then one job people wouldn't be | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
I just think some of those things which are outside of the traditional | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
national curriculum, like music, art and sports | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
and computing are really important to the children and those | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
are the first things, because of the natural | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Brighton parents chose the election run-up to launch | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
This is huge, this is a massive issue for parents. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
We are not political, whatever party is in power | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
after the general election, they are going to need to put more | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
money into education to reduce these cuts. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
But funding issues, well they cross the political divide. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Here's West Sussex Conservative MPs lobbying their own government. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Last year, schools there delivered a petition to Number Ten. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
This year heads at every East Sussex School wrote to their MPs. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
And in Kent, well, one school decided to ask | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
We can't make cuts anywhere apart from really staffing at the moment | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
And as soon as we start to do that, we really start to undo | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
the structures of the school, we start to make the school much | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
weaker and obviously we start to make the children's | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
The Department for Education says school funding is at its highest | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
level on record at more than ?40 billion. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
The stats on the banner are from government data calculated | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Parents say this is a distress call for whoever gets | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Pupils are flouting school rules on mobile phones, | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
using them openly in front of teachers and refusing to hand | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
So says the Head of Walderslade Girls' near Chatham, | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
who has written a hard hitting letter to parents about | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Louise McGowan also says more parents are not supportive, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
saying some have "actively fought on behalf of children | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
against the school", making the job of staff "extremely difficult". | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Teachers are not out to get children, they're not their enemies. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Sometimes I do feel they are being painted in a very poor light | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
The jury in the trial of a teenager accused of killing his stepfather | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
with a single punch at their home in Dartford, has retired | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Douglas Herridge is charged with the manslaughter | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
of Colin Payne, a former national squash champion. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
He was 17 at the time and told the jury he'd been | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Detectives investigating the murder of a young man who'd been sleeping | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
rough near Maidstone have arrested two teenagers. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
21-year-old Razvan Sirbu, from Romania, was found dead | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Two men, aged 18 and 19, both from the Maidstone area, | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
Mr Sirbu's mother says he was "full of mercy and empathy | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
and would always want to help others in need." | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
A job-seeker from Kent says she's angry and upset after a company | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
inviting her for interview inadvertently attached e-mail | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
comments describing her as a "home-educated oddball" | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
who was worth seeing "if only for a laugh". | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Anna Jacobs, from Horsmonden, has turned down the interview | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
with Tecomak Environmental Services in Tonbridge, describing | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
their approach as "unprofessional, smug and arrogant". | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
She's spoken exclusively to our reporter Jon Hunt. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
So, this is the e-mail I received from the employer last night. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Anna Jacobs from Horsmonden was excited to be invited | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
for a job interview, but she wasn't prepared | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
for the insulting language her prospective employer | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
I scrolled down and this absolutely awful summary was attached. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
I thought, how dare somebody say that about my CV and myself. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
You must have been very hurt by that? | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
I was, I was just absolutely furious. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Below the formal invite to interview, the e-mail | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
from Tecomak Environmental Services read... | :04:51. | :05:07. | |
I just think, what employer attaches that to an interview invitation? | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
You know, that's basically saying it's going to be | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
a huge waste of time, but let's do it just | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
for a laugh, let's make up the numbers, sort of thing. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
I believe I've got a lot to offer and if that's | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
all I am to an employer, then please don't invite me | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
to an interview because it's just wasting everyone's time. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
One employment lawyer thinks Miss Jacobs may have | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
Those who apply for jobs are entitled to be treated with respect | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
On the face of it, this e-mail does not show that anyone has been | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Has it been investigated yet because I was really quite | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
Anna Jacobs has so far failed to get answers or an apology | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
The Tonbridge-based company simply says it's investigating thoroughly | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
and says the comments have been taken of context. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Jon Hunt, in Horsmonden, for BBC South East Today. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Ahead of next month's General Election, we're hosting | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
a special Question Time style debate in St Leonards, near Hastings, on | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
If you live or work in the South East, and you'd | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
like to be in the audience, send an e-mail to SE Vote | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
at bbc.co.UK with your name, address and daytime phone number, | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
and you could be part of our election debate. | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
That's it from me, the national weather forecast in a moment | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
but first let's get the picture in the South East | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
One or two scattered showers are lots of sunshine by the afternoon. | :06:38. | :06:50. | |
On Saturday temperatures will be in the top teams and there will be a | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
lot of sunshine around and there will be much-needed rain but mostly | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
that will be Saturday over into Sunday. Towards the hours of | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
tomorrow morning, outbreaks of rain. Overnight temperatures staying in | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
double figures. As you start Saturday, initially cloud but by the | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
afternoon it burns back, lots of sunshine and temperatures in the | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
mid-to top teams, potentially 20 or 21 degrees. South-westerly winds | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
making it cooler along the coast but even there, 14 or 15 degrees is your | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
high. Saturday into Sunday, we see more cloud and eventually breaks | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
A bit of a mixed bag earlier on today, some of us were cloudy with | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
rain. This is the view from one of our weather watchers in Cornwall. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
But in the Highlands of Scotland, it was completely different, find, | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
sunny and warm. The satellite and radar picture shows the variety of | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
weather we have had. It brightened up into the afternoon, early | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
evening. The north-east of Scotland and England | :08:11. | :08:12. |
