Education, education, education.... what he meant was we'll help turn your children into IDIOTS and duffers, so we can get them to do exactly what we want them to do. It's just staggering how many children are falling below standards in reading and writing, this worried me so much i went out and bought some books for my grand daughters to read, with me helping them i might add. I've also made them a multiplication table each, which is a must have for children learning their times tables. I will not believe that it is lack of parental help that fails these children, i do believe that the university studying mentality is wrong, what i mean by this is you have a lecture then it's up to you to complete set work. Little children need to learn how to concentrate so the eyes of all pupils should be facing the teacher, not in groups like in the article, when i was at primary school we all lined up to go into class, two rows one of boys and one of girls. Our headmaster was a giant of a man whose face went purple when he was angry and boy did he get angry, but it made the children fear having to go see him, this guy would be out of a job today I'm sure. More must be done to help these kids, and a total overhaul of education is needed, with an emphasis on discipline and manners, the power needs to be handed back to the teacher, and schools must have a strong headmaster. Performance targets and tables should be ripped up and pupils should be taught subjects relevant to the areas needs, eg in an industrial town or city after reading, writing and mathematics i would teach science, IT and the crafts, in a border city or town i'd teach languages, commerce and business studies, this would return us to a diverse culture and the dependence of all towns and cities on one another.

The need to migrate from place to place to better ones financial position is in my opinion disgusting, greed is one of the seven deadly sins, and it ruins towns by the hundreds.

I have 3 questions for now:

Why do people always want to move away from the town they were born in?

What has happened to the communty spirit?

Will it ever come back?
