I like blinkers.. because it gets me thinking that most people on her start harking on about "when i went to " such and such a school in accy or Ossy.. it means nothing...the vast amount of posters on here will have been educated in the Accy/Osiie area .. it's Accy web.. but you lot go on as if it's all in a mess.. when the reality is that this Government has given a massive increase in education.. massive.. yet you will moan.. no not you the thread starter Jaysay.. a well known tory bod that will post propaganda at any instance...that's what this boils down too.. and poeple.. bite the bait

Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
 

Oh I see now.

Any criticism of the school system reflects poorly in your opinion, because we've had a Labour government for the past twelve years?

I'm afraid my comments were more far reaching historically, than your little political bubble.

Besides, I was privately educated outside Hyndburn's boundaries, so I don't fit easily into one of your narrow little boxes.;)

Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
 

not what I had planned.. like I say get real..you refuse to verify that kids from Harrow have the same chance as kids from Deptford to get good education at an early age then .. ff you.. we are thinking different.. no **** to me me.. move on

Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
 

I'm not saying that all all.

Ninety odd years ago the kid's from a slum's education wouldn't have been that different from a boy's who'd attended Harrow, to use your example.

The same could not be said of today.

Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
 

No arguement from me on this , places like the Mechanics Institute and the Labour sponsored WEA did great things in education which are missing today

Think one difference from 'yesterday' to 'today' is that in the past people saw an education as a step up , if only from 'loom-sweeper' to 'tackler' , there was no sense of entitlement .

The answer my freind is blowing in the wind.. a maybe forced sexual compulsion accorded at Eton Mr Cameron!

You know Mancie I bet your really a nice block at heart, but jess you don't half talk some crap at times:D

Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
 

Find it hard to listen to someone that has to use **** in posts about education to be honest.

Guessing you dont originate from Harrow or Eton ;)

Re: Kids behavior no worse than before

Watched a very interesting programme tonight on BBC4, about the role Sunday Schools played in educating children from poor backgrounds.

In the late eighteenth century teaching the working classes to read and write was seen as a radical ploy, and William Pitt tried to ban them by an act of parliament, fearing a revolution if the great unwashed had access to political pamphlets.

Many children used this step to further their education, including quite a few M.P.'s.

In 1950 50% of children went to Sunday School, and today it's less than 5%, and I suppose that includes those who are only there to secure a place at a church school.

People spoke about how they learned about others, and working for the greater good, rather than always themselves.

Although an atheist nowadays, coming from a long line of Methodists, and attending Sunday School myself until the age of sixteen, it certainly helped shape the person I am today.

some interesting replies in yer link. most pro sunday school, meself i reckon theres a lot in that line of thought.

Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
 

Besides getting some sort of education, later on the Sunday School outing was very often the only holiday a child might expect in a year.

Plus you got books for good attendance. Any sort of books, not necessarily religious ones.

I know someone who went to Sunday School at three different churches each week, to increase their reading material.:D
