Animals Make Better Parents Than Some Humans

 


As per The Times:

"Children are arriving at school unable to say their own names or drink from cups, The Times Education Commission’s final report will reveal this week.

It will call for a kind of “five-a-day” initiative to encourage parents to talk to and play with their children, similar to the healthy eating campaign.

The year-long inquiry into the state of education in the UK, which heard evidence from dozens of experts, publishes its final report on Wednesday. It exposes the inequality within schools and calls for a laser-like focus on education, particularly in the early years.

A head teacher from Nottinghamshire said that her school spent little time on literacy or numeracy in reception because it had to focus on basic care. Some four and five-year-old children joined reception class unable to say their own names and having drunk only from baby bottles. One child was brought to school in a shopping trolley.

She told the commission: “We’ve got about 50 per cent of the children in reception and nursery who are not toilet-trained. We have to employ care workers just to change nappies. We’ve got children who are still drinking from bottles with teats when they start school. They are four years old and their language will include the word ‘bot-bot’, because that’s their communication for ‘Can I have a drink please?’"

A kitten of a few weeks will use a litter tray, wash itself and be able to feed itself!

Nanny Displays a Rare Degree of Common Sense


 

Nanny, in a rare display of common sense, is considering plans for a minimum entry requirement for university. Students without English and maths GCSEs, or two grade Es at A-level, would not be able to attend university in England.

Suffice to say universities are bleating that this caps aspirations and is bad for individuals, the economy and society.

The universities are wrong, if you do not have a basic grasp of the "three Rs" how the hell can you cope and prosper (academically and intellectually) in university?

Lockdown Has Regressed Education

Unsurprisingly Ofsted has reported that the lockdown has caused a regression in children's' education, eg reading and writing has regressed as has attention spans etc.

None of this is surprising, as lockdowns cause immense harm.

However, what is shocking is that the lockdown has result in issues with children regressing to nappies and no longer being able to use a knife and fork.

There is something fundamentally wrong with a society where parents are incapable of teaching their own children how use a knife an fork!

Educashun - Oxford University's Patronising Attitude

It seems to me that aside from being remarkably patronising and insulting, Oxford is in danger of provoking students to ask for their money back.

After all, what is the point of getting yourself into a lifetime of debt, for a degree that is worth FA?

Bright Pupils Do Better Than Less Bright Pupils!


Academics at Durham University have conducted a study that concludes that grammar schools perform no better than non-selective state schools, once their pupils' higher ability and wealth is taken into account.

I will let you ponder that for a minute or so, before I say what I think.

Seemingly the "apparent success" of these wholly selective schools was down to their brighter and more advantaged pupils.

Well, think about that, of course those pupils who are brighter and more motivated will do better!

The BBC reports that the research, based on the detailed results of nearly 550,000 pupils, suggests once the ability and social background of pupils is taken into account, grammar schools are no more or less effective than other schools.

The research not only looked at the social backgrounds of grammar pupils, but also:
  • rates of chronic poverty
  • ethnicity
  • home language
  • special educational needs
  • age in the year group
The findings suggest England's grammars take only a tiny proportion of pupils who are, or have been, eligible for free school meals.

Let me make a small, but important point, no one human being is identical to another in terms of ability, intellect, skills etc etc. Streaming of pupils (whether in public, grammar or state schools) is necessary in order to ensure that all can achieve their best.

Classes of mixed ability pupils fail, because if the teachers focus on the brightest then the slower pupils will be left behind, and if the teachers focus on the slowest then the brighter pupils will become bored and disruptive.

Streaming is necessary to give all pupils a chance to achieve their best!

Educashun - Less is More!


In an age where every academic institution is called a "university" and every person leaving school is expected to have a "degree" in order to flip burgers, don't be surprised that student debt is so high.

For why?

They have to pay for yacht owning vice chancellors, as per the FT:
"Prof Holmes, vice-chancellor of the University of Bolton, who drives a vintage Bentley Continental, also has a 30ft yacht moored on Windermere and believes academics should not hide their wealth. 

“I have had a very successful career. I hope students use their education to get a good job and then they can have a Bentley. Do you want to be taught by someone who is successful or a failure?” he said. 

Prof Holmes’ taste for luxury is partly funded through an inheritance from his father, a property developer, but he also earned £222,120 in 2016, up from £202,500 the year before."
I am so old that I remember a time when there weren't so many universities, nor students and zero student debt (apart from the debt between parent and student!); because there weren't university fees, and students were awarded a means tested grant.

Less is more!

Snowflakes Ban Plato


Oh dear, I see that so called "higher education" is attracting more and more intolerant idiots.

The student snowflake union at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) has got its collective knickers in a twist over the contents of of courses that deal with philosophy. It seems that that figures such as Plato, Descartes and Immanuel Kant are offensive to the snowflakes.

For why?

Coz they is white!


The snowflakes in the union insist that when studying philosophy “the majority of philosophers on our courses” should be from Africa and Asia.

The snowflakes claim this is part of their wider campaign to “decolonise” the university, as it seeks to “address the structural and epistemological legacy of colonialism”.

Unsurprisingly, more intelligent people have think that this is bollocks. Sir Roger Scruton, the philosopher, said the demands suggest “ignorance”.

He is quoted by the Telegraph:
“You can't rule out a whole area of intellectual endeavour without having investigated it and clearly they haven't investigated what they mean by white philosophy.

If they think there is a colonial context from which Kant's Critique of Pure Reason arose, I would like to hear it."
Unfortunately, Sir Roger's reasoning may well be ignored, even so called "educated" people (or those who seek to be "educated") can be remarkably bigoted and cretinous.

Oh and by the way, in 2014 Nathan P. Gilmour (Associate Professor of English and Composition Culture Director, Emmanuel College Cambridge) wrote an article pointing out that Plato was not in fact "white".
"That’s what’s insidious about declaring Plato “White” too easily: such a move threatens to obscure the contingency of history, in which the man Plato was not “White” because that term takes its twenty-first-century meaning not from skin-coloring but from a centuries-long (but not THAT many centuries!) narrative of Capitalist-formed human slavery, nationalist-based empire-building, and–I grant this point–attempts to co-opt texts like those of Homer and Euripides and Plato as parts of a “Western Canon,” a movement that claims them as part of a project of “civilization” undeniably tied up in the story of how northern and western Europeans became “White” as opposed to the Asian and African and American tribes over whom they won military supremacy."
Maybe the snowflakes should read that first beofre unleashing their 21st century prejudices on a long dead philosopher.

Educashun - Getting Dumber Generation By Generation


According to research in Iceland, people are becoming dumber.

As per the Guardian the research from deCODE, a genetics firm in Reykjavik, finds that groups of genes that predispose people to spend more years in education became a little rarer in the country from 1910 to 1975.

The scientists used a database of more than 100,000 Icelanders to see how dozens of gene variants that affect educational attainment appeared in the population over time. They found a shallow decline over the 65 year period, implying a downturn in the natural inclination to rack up qualifications.

But the genes involved in education affected fertility too. Those who carried more “education genes” tended to have fewer children than others. This led the scientists to propose that the genes had become rarer in the population because, for all their qualifications, better educated people had contributed less than others to the Icelandic gene pool.

Now whether this is true or not, the effects of environment/educational systems also play a very large part in people's ambitons and ability/desire to learn.

However, the sad fact in the Britain is that ambition, competiton (academic/sports) and the desire to better oneself have all but been erradicted by Nanny.

A Generation of Ignoramuses


Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

In a poll of 1,000 people conducted by the RAF Benevolent Fund one in ten 18 to 24-year-olds thought the Battle took place last year, with the same number thinking it was a Viking attack when presented with multiple choice answers.

What the fark is Nanny teaching kids in schools these days?

Nanny's League Tables Are Bollocks


Kudos to Nanny for managing to screw up even further her school league table system, that was already regarded by many (including Nanny herself) as being bollocks.

Nanny, in an attempt to make exams etc more "challenging" and "relevant", has altered what goes into her league tables.

Unfortunately, one type of qualifications that are excluded are International GCSEs. Which is ironic, because these are regarded as being more demanding and challenging than UK GCSEs.

The result being that those schools who seek to stretch their pupils by having them sit IGCSEs find their results excluded from the table.

Step forward Britain's leading independent schools, that now find themselves at the bottom of the table. My own alma mater (Dulwich) indeed resides at a leisurely 3864 towards the bottom of the table.

In short the table is bollocks!

Now if only Nanny hadn't got rid of O and A levels we wouldn't be in this mess, but hey hoh!
