I can speak with a little bit of knowledge on school. In the UK we put massive pressure on kids......and I mean massive, from the time they are babies of 4 ! Almost nobody else is doing that in Europe. They are getting tested from infant age group and the pressure in schools to meet those standards is terrible, parents buy into this absolute bullshit too because lots of parents are thick as shit and Fred & Chantelle who never passed a f***ing exam in their life and have risen to be a bin man and a nail technician believe that if they just moan at the school enough then littl

WILF is 100% correct. There is absolutely no connection between academic achievement in primary school and how much money people earn at 30. Once you take the top few percent of really clever kids out and the bottom few percent who really struggle then everyone else evens out. When I was at school in year 3 at primary I was taught by one old woman who taught us every lesson we needed to learn. My son is now in year 3 and he has 3 different teachers doing different subjects, there are a couple of classroom assistants and he gets piles of online homework every single day. Apparently

I've said that for years, cooking and healthy eating should be one of the staples of education in the UK, the same as First Aid, they should be both instilled by the time you're an adult.

started to clear a steep hill side today for the permission on a couple of grouse moors next season, very happy with the way the dogs worked and run on this difficult terrain ?

Out doing gardening, fired the BBQ up for a Bacon Sandwich with Branstons elevenses . Bloody handsome. Cheers Arry

He’s just sent me some more pics of the pups and they are doing well,I know there is 2 lads off here getting 1 each so just thought I would up date them.

had a mate who was suicidal. He was really depressed, so I pushed him in front of a steam train. He was chuffed to bits. I was reading in the paper today about this dwarf that got pick pocketed. How could anyone stoop so low?

Personally I had a hard time supporting my 3 with home schooling. Not because I'm stupid or lazy, it was just difficult for a number of reasons. I did the best I could with 3 teenagers who weren't always compliant or easy to engage. I've worked all the way through in the NHS as well, and that was a bit stressful at times. The government bangs on about how the kids are all behind but, for me, I think they might want to change the criteria they judge them by. Because it's utterly ridiculous the way they teach kids in this country. Learning is little more than repetition and stress. I feel

Saw my first swallows of the year this morning, happy days ??

The world takes all sorts and needs all sorts . You need the insanely brainy academics, high level sorts , they can design and work out anything thats needed , you need the next levels to take their thoughts and put them in to practice and organise it all the way down to the boots on the ground actually putting the plans together . Spurs new stadium is a marvel in design the way its all held together , its beyond me how someone can design something complex . But without the guys in high viz driving the dumpers , shifting the cement , doing the blockwork its just a thought in some

Gone f**k up about the gov for once in your life,parents ain't f***ing teachers,that why they go to school in the first place. Typical government shut the schools down but blame the parents haha what a f***ing joke Your a tit South hams,you BELEIVE anything the gov says,your foolery is astounds me.

Father daugheter son

Lamb also im just cracking on

Piss stained ole kennel blind cnut.

Same as politics / tax / how the world works should be taught aswell. Also should be easier for kids who are in no way academic to do a day a week or something as apprentice. I had a good [BANNED TEXT] who was always set to fail a exams , never bothered in school and just coasted through 5 years of school doing fuckall. Would have been great for him to do a day in a mechanics, building site or anything manual with his hands(which he was good at) a week maybe during GCSE years . Then when he finished school hes set . He always said it was a complete waste of time him being in school

Bit of lamb

Poachers pie for me tonight, venison, ( that me and my mate took a couple of weeks ago) carrots, leeks, shallots, cooked in red wine and beef stock topped with cream mash, think I’ll have it with thyme and garlic roast spuds and whatever veg is in the fridge

This is pretty much why I gave up teaching after over a quarter of a century. I kept trying to TEACH children fun stuff and also to make sure they went home with a massive smile on their faces because they knew they had the best teacher in the school. Happy kids and happy parents was my priority which unfortunately, meant that I wasn't ticking the correct boxes. I've always been a non-confrontational person but over the last few years I was getting more and more antagonistic towards the "senior" management team. Completely agree. When my son was at primary school, one of his friends ca

Me and the boy have this chat all the time, and one thing I have always said I would have if I was just filthy, unbelievably rich is have a little black midget man servant ! I have got it all worked out, I’d call him “Tonto” and every day he would have to dress in a different outfit. So say, Monday - Spaceman, Tuesday - Admiral Nelson complete with eye patch, Wednesday - he’s be a little cowboy and so on and so forth.......then if I got bored I’d chuck him a few extra quid to do stunts like “Here, Tonto, here’s a monkey go and chuck yourself off the roof of the barn” ......that type

Topnot.

Recently just got this little bitch back

Today I officially retired my dog Brian from the foxing World. First of all I would like to thank busher for gifting me this fantastic animal all them moons ago .for that I am forever grateful and he knows anything I breed he is welcome to one . Quick story on Brian. Brian started hunting at around 4 months old ,and seem to take to everything in his stride. Not really taking much training in anything he was shown .I initially never got him for earth work ,as we had other terriers for that job.but again he took to bolting Charlie's for fun .he bolted his first fox aged 11 months .,self en

Bit of a frost this morning at 05.45am, we walked a old railway line to the woods instead of going over the fields, didn’t want the pup putting anything big up and going for a long gallop with the ground being hard. The ground was good in both woods and he hunted up a few rabbits coming close on one ( sure he’s on first name terms with it as he runs one regular in the same spot ?). Only saw two squirrels and took this one at around 20odd yards.. head shot, stone dead ! The pigeon was a good 30 yards with the 11mm steel dropping him with a neck shot. Good to hear the bird song especially the b

And it cost me a small fortune lol Igot out twice after my daughter passed and i had the strokes but i was not up to it still cant walk very far before my legs start to hurt and feel like iv just ran a marathon so i told viz thats it for me for a while plus the pard 008 and the pard 019 were hurting my eyes and head so thought it was best to leave it for a few months Any way got a tx off stu saying he was opening the range and as my raider and pard 008 is at si,s rifle for a service and he wanted a lone of the pard plus he had sent his hw97k limited ed in 22 up to me i

Roll on next season.100% water proof..

A Rat in a 55 Bodygrip this is the Fourteenth catch in this trap alone over the last 4 months, they are very good traps but i see no advantage in using this trap instead of the 116 which to me feels easier to handle and ca also be used for Rabbits .

Brian as a young pup .

I think its just a matter of escapism from the world at the moment lol But the tits help ?

That looks spot on Billy - them spuds look good It's lamb here aswell today - should be done in a couple of hours.

I was the exact same mate, should have been given a trade at 12 as the next 4 years were a total waste of my life, I can watch someone on you tube rebuild an engine and follow suite but if I tried read about it I will be there a month and still be none the wiser ??

Thix.., thix thix, the number of the beast ?

Teach your kids to question everything, even you. Tell them to listen to all sides and form THEIR own opinions. They'll go to school, listen to the doctrine and either embrace or reject it.

Good bag, sometimes you have to get it whilst you can.

we don`t have teachers anymore, they are professional trainers who can only run by what`s in a book, a teacher can spot a child who struggles to understand something and find a different way to explain things, my old physics teacher was always banging on about cross-multiplication, had me stumped, family friend told me about the pyramid system for ohms law, that stuck with me and I still use it now.

Think about how many years most of us spent learning languages in secondary school. I did 5 years of German. At the end of 5 years the total achievement I had was being able to shout 'ya das is guuud' in a porn star voice. I learnt more languages in a month in Spain in my mid twenties. You can't force knowledge into a brain.

He’s settled in a Treat had a Good Morning bushing with him & pup I bred & Finley is over the moon with him haven’t stopped smiling ? as Brian & Izzy put up at least 12 rabbits & had a solid mark off um both & got a few pics got a few vids which foxpack has seen but can’t upload um sadly atb cbx ?
