Abstract
In 1976, at Ruskin College, the Prime Minister made a rare and detailed excursion into the overgrown field of education, pin‐pointing a number of areas of concern and calling for a national debate. “Respond positively” was his plea. With apologies to Galileo and his Dialogue Concerning Two New Sciences of 1632 between Simplicio, Sagredo, and Salviati, we envisage Politicio the politician, Pedagogio the scholar, and Paternio the parent responding to the speech.
