Education rant
Don't get me started on…
Education - quality not quantity!
Education. Learning. Discipline. The three defining words which are becoming confined to the four constricting walls of the class room. Confined there as a result of the suggestion to provide 45 hours of education per week for 45 weeks of the year. That’s "a real game changer in education," according to Paul Kirby, a former top adviser to David Cameron. A man I see to be delusional, as I sit in the class room watching the elongated dawdling hand shudder around the eternal clocks demising face, each minute feeling like an hour. His view for the future intended to solve a tidal wave of dilemmas, but, in reverse triggers a tsunami of adversities. How is the next generation going to find knowledge and clarity in this abundance of chaos? Children are meant to live, love and learn; these mandatory hours of education take out the living and loving. Learning, should be only a part of life.
Memories. The moments that last an eternity. The moments we cherish the most. The moments that evolve from a nourishing childhood, a childhood you hold close, like watching the first buds on a plant blossom into an array of wonder and hope. Will forthcoming generations gain the memories that we all cherish? Not if they're deprived of family, hobbies, holidays and independence. I know I will never forget swimming in the British Gas ASA National Championships at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, a memory I cherish. Education is striving to take the place of these thriving memories. How would you feel if this was the disposal of your child's prized moments?
Families will be left with an infuriatingly diminutive span of only 6 weeks of viable holiday time, 6 weeks less opportunity for valuable sun, sand and sea. Accordingly, "Giving the kids the equivalent of an extra seven years of compulsory education"; it will lead to slamming the breaks on the holiday business economy, cornering them into hyping their prices up, to infinity and beyond,
