Seeing that it's a pet subject of David's, maybe we could have the people with children going to school, post their homework and such to get an idea of the level of education these days.
just a thought :D
Not a bad idea... I'll see if we can get that one put on.

Sounds like a great idea. On that forum we could also discuss the ever increasing enforcement of pupils having to act like robots and how the forum of discussion is being teared down.

While you are looking into this, do a little research and find where and when the present "Learning Program" came from, which is making your kids "Politically Correct".

Here is an appropriate story from todays paper, especially for those who watched the George Carlin video I posted in the 'some Icke I like' thread.
Getting an 'A' grade just got easier
VICTORIAN students will find it easier to achieve an "A" grading after the Bracks Government bowed to public pressure and revised controversial new report cards for schools.

What an excellent quote and how true. I spent a great many years un-educating myself from some of the harmful rubbish I was taught to believe.
And still last time I looked my grandsons reading books were full of similar rubbish. If my kids were of school age now I believe I would remove them both from the system, instead of just my eldest due to her very unhealthy and possibly abusive education.

This could be very interesting - Childrens Education. A really good idea.
This was my first post on this site:
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1116
I have some really usefull 'official' info from my childrens current school.
They have been there two years and I am most displeased with the so called leadership at this school.
Get this Education Forum up and running then chaps!
