There's a limit to what education can do. You can't polish a turd as your experience shows.Originally posted by Cyberman View PostAlso in the news today that 25% of kids going to secondary school are not up to speed in maths and english. That's a very sad indictment of Labour and its constant tinkering with an education system that was pretty good when I was at school.
I'm dead set against IBs, I don't want some clever whipper-snappers who actually know something and can apply it, coming up through the system. The current educational system ensures that us oldies rule the roost, as there is no competition from the young uns.Hard Brexit now!

Let's face it, he's got a recognisable brand name, catch phrase, and someone else has built a web site for him.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Once we get a return to selection and grammar schools we will have kids achieving once more. Everything turns to **** under Labour.
