"Any of you lot have kids at school or college ? Do you think you know what is being taught to your kids, without your permission ? My wife is a personal tutor at a college They have an HR department that instructs the staff to call all the kids they They insist on a virulent woke agenda throughout everything they do Latest, they all had to stay behind ( in their own time ) to listen to a trans in pigtails talking about how great it is to be them. 99% of all staff hate this agenda but are being bullied to accept it or face ""consequences"". I said to my wife it sounds like indoctrination akin to the Nazi regime I said to her thank god we don't have kids at school these days The head has assemblies where she doesn't address the kids as boys or girls What the fuck happened to our country and why is this allowed to continue dye to a vocal minority of cunts She leaves at Christmas as she's had enough"

QFB Half these lot are not even remotely conservative bar a few

Has Tuesday gone into injury time?

"OK Exeter. So what would you do if, thanks to your efforts as a maths teacher, your students decided they'd be better off voting for a party with a proper fucking immigration policy?"

"15 years , 3 terms of Tories get what you vote for again again"

goose 9:55 Wed Oct 11 Re: Education in the UK Eldest goes to secondary in a couple of years and I think we’ll send him to the catholic school in Bishop Stortford. That will get him sexually abused.

"No Pickle, I am not a maths teacher, but if I were a maths teacher, I think I’d have the good grace not to bring politics into into the EQUATION."

"A polishman living in Poland, who's kids are being educated in germany, lecturing people in the UK about schooling. Classic Pickled."

What’s the book? Trigonometry with the Scottish National Party? Advanced mathematics with Dennis Skinner?

"You’ve just used the word “useful” to signify its exact opposite. You’re not a maths teacher by any chance, Exeter?"

"“genuinely curious - how does one go about teaching maths in any kind of useful context without taking politics into the classroom”? Genuinely, WTF?!?! Right kids, M+C squared / X = M to the power of 8* Remembering that C = Maximilian Robespierre and X equals the Liberal Democrat’s divided by the treaty of Versailles. Away you go. *someone’s going to tell me that’s not possible."

I learn. I learn. I learn it from a book.

You’re a teacher Pickle?

"All depends on the context. For some, any kind of instruction on what the birds and the bees like to do may be considered indoctrination. As teachers we’re supposed to be resilient enough in our own political position to handle that kind of thing."

FWIW Nurse I would be very happy if you were teaching my Grand daughter. I think you would provide nuture but not stifle.

Ooooo now the cans open and the worms are all over the place. When is it learning and when is it instruction to pass an exam? When is it teaching vs Indoctrination through fear of being ostracized for not saying 'the right thing' or thinking 'the right thoughts'

"OK, without jumping to any unreasonable conclusions, shall we assume they exist? What would you like them to learn? What information will you be presenting and what skills would you like them to develop? How will they go about their daily lives thanks to your activity as a teacher?"

Correction: For children who they do not exist. Stay woke people.

That’s almost as crazy as having a baby shower/gender reveal party whilst still pregnant

For children who do not yet exist?

Fascinating Nurse. Got any sort of programme outline yet?

"My son has asked me if, theoretically, I would be willing to take early retirement in order to home-school his children (when they are finally in existence) If I can swing it financially I think that is the way we will go as a family."

"Oh, I was thinking more along the lines of applying maths to basic every day economic life allowing for rational decision/ making. Like you know when we have the kind of politicians we get elected these days. Basic logic seems to be an arcane art these days. Oh and there’s really no need to be so rude."
