Our Schools are apparently overcrowded and also in a state of disrepair, yet the Government continue's to send money out of this Country like it's going out of fashion! That is to build Schools and get clean water for kids throughout the world whilst our own kids are left equally struggling and their parents asked to contribute still further, by paying for books and pencils etc. The number of television adverts asking for money for third world projects is beyond me....£2 for this, £2 for that, £10 for the dogs or retired donkeys, we must be b....y stupid! That said I don't contribute to these jokers who are nothing less than 'do-gooders' out to make a name for themselves. In my opinion the sort of people who do need and deserve our support are the Heart Foundations, the RNLI, the Air Ambulance teams, the people on the front line here in our beautiful land! On the news today a 15 year old lad has got to raise something near £150,000 for treatment in America for a Brain Tumour rather than our NHS afford it. What a b....y disgrace, if I had the money he would be on the next flight out, but why isn't there a similar advert for this lad, why isn't the NHS picking up the tab? Makes you furious, makes me sick! What say you members? Isn't it about time this Government got the message? |

They do that in Canada also. One of Scout family's was home schooled and went to the high school for choir and music lessons and to play scoccer and baseball..competively. They still have to take national tests of compentency as all the kids do via the state/federal law. Hollywood kids with TV programs they are in and in music popularity...are generally Home schooled on the set of where they work. So it's nothing new exactly...just it doesn't require an school building..or buses, or othr such things, so those areas that need classroomscan have them yet. My elementary school three blocks away is setup like that...kids come to school in shifts of three days and week and discuss things in person with their teachers, do lab work, sportsand the Arts and the other three days, do their classes on-line in front of an computer at home. |

You really are joking aren't you, we would have a generation of get up when you can, never wash, smoke in place of breakfast, game consoles until the pub's open, play pool, crawl home, go to bed, get up when you can... We need to stop the immigrants coming into the Country in the huge numbers that they are, in order to maintain the School places that they are searching for! C'mon UKIP sort it out please. |
