Mainstream media, modern imperialism and the violence caused.

It wasn't the case! How the feck would you know?

 

It wasn't personal lose in financial fortune that caused my other brother and myself to have a lesser education. Twas the State that changed!

 

Researching YOUR background believes me to think that YOU came from a rather more affluent part of the country?

 

Made good off the back of the Northern working class man!?

 

Look it up before ya spout more bile.

 

here's ya chance Huck!

 

How the feck would I know? Re read your post.

 

As for the rest of it, is this the part where we contest who is the most "working class made good" type.

 

Sure, I confess, me and my whole family used to play polo riding unemployed miners instead of ponies, stopping only to quaff champers! We all do down here you know.

 

 

Good to hear you're still researching my background, seems I've rented some space between your ears. (No shortage of it in there)

This has been an interesting thread, it would be nice if we could continue it without the childish little snipes from the same members, thanks.

If I believed that my kids had to go to school to learn how to behave, learn common courtesy, common sense, how to communicate and represent their-selves, to cook, be practical, problem solve and even read and write. I'd feel a failure as a parent, aren't these things that are taught at home?

 

I agree that parents have the ultimate responsibility in this yes and their influence obviously starts from Day 1. I think also that teachers have the job of mirroring the formative trajectory. My folks never told me to stand up when the headmaster came into the classroom. I spent the lions share of my waking hours as a youth in the classroom so teacher discipline is essential. Of course, teachers are no longer allowed to do this since some clever people handed a ton of rights to children.
