Its flipping scary isn't it, the way society is.

 

Last weekend I took my niece and nephews to a Playground in Bakewell, and a small child (looked about 4) was about to step off the climbing frame, and fall 6 feet (luckily another child grabbed her in time)

 

Now I was in a dilema.

 

1) Put my hand out to support the child, to stop it from falling, and potentially getting a serious injury

 

2) stand back and do nothing.

 

And sadly, I would have taken option number 2 (and I hate myself for this), I would have been terrified of being acused of touching the child............ and this poping up on every CRB check from that point forward

And the 2007 scenario is a national disgrace. The sad thing is, we are told record numbers of school leavers have qualifications

I'll have you know it's taken a LOT of high level government discussions, time, and efforts, in conjunction with highly-paid educational advisors (who wouldn't last a minute in an inner-city classroom and got to their position by getting out of the classroom at the first available opportunity) to get our education system to the place it is now.

I think we the people demand more impact analysis groups, more consumer resource allocation focus scenarios, more diversity population studies..and much less teachers being allowed to teach and discipline kids who get out of line!

Scenario 7:

 

1977----People think for themselves,don't believe everything they read in the papers and express their own ideas with intelligence and imagination.

 

2007----People cut and paste a bunch of cliched right-wing misperceptions lifted straight from the Daily Mail and post ad infinitum on internet forums.

Even by your standards, that's one hilarious post Basil.

 

Well done! (But where do you go from here?)
