Are you saying that Britain employs people in schools and universities called teachers who do not have any qualifications to teach?

HMMmm! Some edukashun! Now remind us, what was it you 'majored' in?

You wouldn't get a medal for that sample! Do you know the difference between a sentence and a phrase?

I know these things 'cos (like George Stephenson or Einstein or Churchill) not everyone needs to go through the system! Not everyone needs to go to uni to be made aware of conscious thought or of the scientific or objective method of analysis.

What about Home Schooling DC? That seems to me to be the best option for parents to keep their children and to stop the state taking them.

Stop trying to appeal to the lost generations by adopting the language of the anarchist. You do a bad job of it and ignorance really isn't bliss. One learns a great deal from good teachers and a healthy educational system merely by going to school. You are ignoring the FACT that I never leave out the people who qualify in other areas of expertise and you fail to acknowledge that I am not an academic and am trying to encourage people to be the best they can be and achieve whatever they can because, as you ought to know, not doing so has created the kingdom of Yob and has robbed an entire generation of its potential. In doing so, and this is entirely the fault of the government and the people who keep voting it into power, Britain, and any other country with similar policies against excellence, has been robbed of the advancement that would be due directly to the contribution of its home grown talent.

Keep insulting me, you're edging closer to that hole you've been digging for yourself. Just don't start on people who are undergoing the enlightenment phase of their lives. There is nothing more odious than someone who tries to make them feel they should be making less of themselves just because you do.

Even so, I am entitled to my opinion and I express it without the use of expletives. Can you say the same?]

And, and, and! What a rant!

What do you know?

There are almost 900 millions in Africa and nearly 50 million in South Africa. Why don't you save your sanctimonious strictures for those whom you live amongst?

Why don't you take a long walk off a short plank?

I see the noble, manly moderators are allowing another girl to be bullied. Percentage is picking on Cleopatra! Well, Aardvark you are supposed to be educated and a lawyer why do you sit back and allow girls to be bullied? Have you no morals? Well, they are rare in lawyers.

What a patronising clown you try to be! I know women who'd put you down with just a few choice words.

Who appointed you to be women's champion anyway?

Off you go and play with the girls ~ that's more your mark, you would-be censor, and stop being so bitchy!!!
