By your own admission, it has changed, the left is now in control and it is failing. I guess it could be a coincidence Now its gone too far the other way with every child told they can be whatever they want. It's gone 'too far' because people like yourself will block any attempt to substantially reform it in any way that might set it back to common sense. Your ideological breaker circuits kick in and you start waving Ripping Yarns style strawmen about. To properly reform the education system, the first thing you would have to do is destroy the teacher's unions. See? I can almost hear the fuses blowing from here |

For a residential home the EV will double the energy bill from 10kWh to 20kWh per day. That's what I mean about scale. Assuming you travel 250 miles a day using up its full charge. Of course you don't. Of course I don't. But you don't seem to understand scale. The EV does about 40kWh in about four days. The UK residential home also does 40kWh in four days. In other words the EV double the rate of the home. I have also mentioned that the UK energy is in deficit. More EVs will exacerbate that problem. |

By your own admission, it has changed, the left is now in control and it is failing. I guess it could be a coincidence That assumes the other extreme worked. Of course it didn't. For years we managed a sort of middle ground between well funded Grammar schools and other kids leaving at 14 with bugger all to look forward to but servitude. Now its gone too far the other way with every child told they can be whatever they want. Before it was 14 it was 12 and it's interesting that you choose 14 which was long before you were born and those who left at 14 often had successful careers and most were decent people. |

Your ideological breaker circuits kick in and you start waving Ripping Yarns style strawmen about. Just because I don't want to go back to your days of legal child beating does not mean I'm stopping change. I want the middle ground. And talking of strawman. Here you are wheeling him out again to tell you my opinion when I am here in person if you actually wanted it. So I retaliate in kind. Child beater. Personally I have no time for unions who are as out dated as the Bullington club. But you would need to explain how getting rid of them would improve education. |

Getting rid of unions as we know them would be a massive improvement to just about everything. Mags was right about the teachers' unionadversely affecting education; I'll leave you to work out why, might keep you off the boards for a month or two. |

I don't blame them what with how woke teaching has become........It is time to reverse the damage caused by the former Labour government who saw nursing become a degree requirement making it an expensive entry for new applicants. ......There is absolutely no need for nurses to be university trained. Working on the job is much more productive and has better results than the paper ones. Record 10,000 fewer young women apply for university with big drops in nursing and teaching Figure has fallen for first time in more than decade according to dataHE analysis It is thought that the fall in applications to nursing and teaching courses this year Read more: University students occupy three campus buildings amid rent strike www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11746821/A-record-10-000-fewer-young-women-apply-university-big-drops-nursing-teaching.html |

I think we should re-introduce SEN and SRN nurses. The idea of making all nurses degree qualified was supposed to create flexibility in staff, but resulted in extra costs the NHS could not afford. Initially nursing courses were funded by the NHS and students even got paid when they did work experience. When this was stopped candidates for these courses fell through the floor. The NHS covered the shortfall by bringing in qualified nurses from Europe and Indonesia. Now most of that has stopped they need to think again. |

Personally I have no time for unions who are as out dated as the Bullington club. But you would need to explain how getting rid of them would improve education. The teacher's unions would strongly resist any significant attempt to move the focus from the interests and wishes of teachers and their personal ideologies, to the interests of children. There are probably several other interest groups that would also need to be tackled - the department of education generally, the universities and probably the civil service generally. It would be more parsimonious to defund and offer an alternative rather than getting tangled in trying to reform No party has the gumption to take these scammers on head-on because the rewards would be 'in heaven' and the fight would tooth and nail. If the public are happy that their taxes pay for an 'education system' that in reality acts significantly as a state nursery preparing citizens to live in a society set up as a care ward, they should rename the current service and set up a separate service to provide an education. |

Well I did ask Zany to work it out for himself but another fail I'm afraid, he only wants to deal with you. Even if ther Minister for Education followed your advice, he would find it difficult to get past many teachers and even many civil servants, both are union fodder. Added to that is the fact that so many present MPs come from a uni background and honed their lack of ability as members of the student union. |

Yes indeed, Tor, There is a significant subtle cultural component to this as well. - everyone involved in media and government has come from the same political background. It is fast becoming a fully enclosed informational soviet. Another aspect of the scam is universities offering credentials in non-skills that the government then hires or, through various legalistic means, forces others to hire. In this way, large amounts of money are transferred across the economy for a total non service. |

The damage I have seen to the once brilliant school my children attended was nothing to do with unions, quite the opposite, they became an academy with there own funding focused only on money and expansion. They took over a problem school and faced cuts in funding as their results plummeted. The focus switched to getting results and misusing selection systems to refuse children with lower grades became common. The school now has a terrible local reputation. Hmm. |

Anyone here got an electric car without a charging point say lives in a flat so has to road charge? Coming in this year is supposed to be a ban on pavement parking, where I live there are no end of houses without a parking lot but it does make me wonder whether it's to impose chargers. |
