The msm is lousy at reporting the truth: they're torn between being a news personality, eg Robinson, Peston, Snow, Maitlis and so on, and keeping their press passes for Parliament. Nowhere does 'truth' enter their thoughts.<br /><br />State education used to be good and actually benefited the children but now it's just a waste of space with skewed facts & figures (eu, environment, history). At the moment, state education is bordering on criminal and child abuse.GoodnightViennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028146701684804650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-71968774242704807522012-01-14T09:15:31.718-08:002012-01-14T09:15:31.718-08:00Those who have chosen to opt out of the state educ...Those who have chosen to opt out of the state education system know how much the state hates that there are children not in the system. Home education faced a serious threat from the previous government, who attempted to regulate it out of existence. <br /><br />At the moment central government is taking a back seat, presumably knowing the amount of resources they'd have to employ to fight a similar battle, plus the fact that they made plenty of statements supporting home education when on the other side of the house. However, local government has decided that despite the fact that the law was not changed, they are going to try to impose changes as if it had, so home educators are subjected to lies and threats for not doing what they're told. Lancashire, Doncaster and Kent are names that spring to mind as examples of this misguided policy.<br /><br />The European court upheld the right of Germany to require all children to go to school, so it's obvious what the Eurocrats would like to see. In the UK, from the start of compulsory education, it was to be achieved 'by attendance and school or otherwise', where the 'otherwise' option was presumably there so the uppler classes could engage a governess and avoid sending their child to school to associate with the riff-raff. However, it is an increasingly popular option in the UK as parents become disillusioned with the mess that is state education, so at some point there will be more attempts to regulate it back under state control.Dave Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-71686165101633546512012-01-14T09:08:23.358-08:002012-01-14T09:08:23.358-08:00WfW, I posted the following on the Luikkerland blo...WfW, I posted the following on the Luikkerland blog, yesterday. But since your posting is on the same subject, I thought you might be interested in what I had to say :<br /><br />My youngest nephew is in the process of choosing his optional subjects for GCSE and he is considering History for one of them. I’ve read the brief summary of the syllabus and I am astonished that it will cover only three topics : the history of medicine, Germany from 1918-1945, and a local history project about a mill. I spoke to the head of the upper school about the narrowness and even inappropriateness of the syllabus for an English child (Germany, for goodness’ sake, not the UK) and his reply was, that if the child wants to learn about English history, he can do that by himself, any time he wants to. I’m lost as to how to address this matter, not just for my nephew but for the rest of the children who are being taught in our education system. If this doesn’t illustrate how endemic is marxist/communist dogma in the teaching profession, then I don’t know what does. I suggested that unless we know who we are and how we got here, then we can never understand where we might be going. He disagreed that being taught English history was necessary. So, that’s the Head of the upper school; he no doubt sets the policy for the other teachers and they will follow it, if they want to keep their jobs. Though they probably also agree with him.john in cheshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179825507377423624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-55852327127560939922012-01-14T08:45:33.854-08:002012-01-14T08:45:33.854-08:00Cosford is a superb museum highlighting all that u...Cosford is a superb museum highlighting all that used to be great about Great Britain.
