You are correct in your belief.
Just that sometimes (usually when broke) I would elect to go to college and, hence, accidentally learn something. |

| Quote JerryChicken="JerryChicken"I have to admit to agreeing with you (for once), I had a conversation with someone last week about Poles and other Eastern European immigrant workers in this country along the lines of "Come over here, taking our jobs etc" - I have the opposite opinion as I deal with lots of european migrants on the phone during my normal days work and without fail I have always found them to be very polite, intelligent, have very good English skills, and be very clear and precise in what they are saying and how they say it - you rarely find one that mumbles in a "couldn't care less attitude".
My answer to the ones who complain is always "How would you manage if you were transported to Poland and told to get on, find a job, a house and support yourself", I don't think any of us could, even if you used France as an example when most of us learned French at school - we couldn't support ourselves with GCSE French without appearing to be total ignoramus's.'"
You're agreeing with Dally that British kids aren't worthy of education because they are ignorant scum and act like whores? |

Me. And a slide rule. For a very short period before decent calculators became readily available. |

Didn't take it, it was only for those who's fathers had put their names down at medical school or had an internship at a solicitors arranged for their 11 year old sprogs at our grammar school old chap. |

I remember being taught to use log tables but not a single maths teacher ever explained why we may need them'"
One could equally ask how many on this board have ever actually [iused[/i what they were taught in history once they left school.
Personally, I'm not a fan of education as being strictly utilitarian, although it's certainly what big business would prefer, given its comments in recent years about young people leaving education without, say, being experts with customers. |
