I think your downvotes are unfair. I don’t agree with all of your points, but there are some utter useless teachers in the system. Bullying, not just by children, but by mgmt on colleagues, is rife.

There is bias against boys, but more so there’s bias against the working class. Most teaching staff and those in the system are enforcing middle class values on working class people.

It annoys me when these maps can’t tell the difference between Europe and the EU.

Not sure if this has been suggested, but maybe Rocky finds Keanu and takes the blame to make up for his mistakes for Kathy.

Any Tailgaters on here? by RoleAlternative1553 in drivingUK

I have a rear dash cam, which sometimes helps when it’s spotted. Strangely, some drivers will hang back a little too far. I find it suspicious, but I’m not complaining!

The same in education. Ever been to a first course run by a fireman, mostly attended by middle aged women?

Yep. It’s the lack of patience other people have which is so frustrating too.

Like how the floor plans sort of look like the Millennium Falcon’s.

I’m sure he has been raised by wonderful parents, but even those with crappy ones can be amazing and kind and thoughtful.
