[QUOTE=Kung Fu Jew;34071130]Labour should call for disbandment[/QUOTE] They should go back to old Labour and not this New Labour shit they're pulling, they care more about immigrants than actual citizens. Though historically I think Labour are the reason we always go into debt and recession while the Tories are the ones who drag us out of it.
being from america and not keeping up with politics a lot, i don't know who they are or what their views are, but from what i can see they are old fashioned, and those types of people are holding us back. i wish there were more progressive people being listened to rather than these dorks
[QUOTE=Douchebags;34068334]Doesn't matter if you're getting paid or not, you're their to learn and to build up for a future not to socialize and ditch to do stupid shit. I myself fucked up by not trying my hardest and now i'm busting my ass off. I'm just saying i see no reason why it would hurt to lengthen the day up.[/QUOTE] The way you say that is as if you think the point of life is to get a boring job and go everyday even though you hate it with a passion. What the fuck is the point of life if we don't have fun and follow our dreams and passions, even if that includes doing some stupid shit with friends.

They didn't think about boredom either! If I were sitting in my school for eight hours a day, I'd be so bored after the first five that I stop learning! You don't learn things when you're bored.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;34070267]School systems around the world are weird, in Australia it's Kindy/Prep > Primary School (1-7) > High School (8-12) > Uni/TAFE/other In High School you have the option to drop out in grade 10/11/12 to conduct yourself in doing trade work. At my school it starts at 8.30am and finishes at 2.45pm, having homework duration of about 2 hours (if I chose to do it, lol) I feel sorry for you guys in the UK getting this shit, [B]you can always wag and hide in tunnels or something.[/B][/QUOTE] No you can't, if you continually truant then your parents will go to jail

Though historically I think Labour are the reason we always go into debt and recession while the Tories are the ones who drag us out of it.[/QUOTE] My boss, a militant union man and die hard Labour voter, reckons Labour don't want back into power until they are assured that the worst of the economic crisis is behind us. He says it would explain why they have elected a non-entity to lead them, someone they can easily ditch when he doesn't beat Cameron in 2015. They also have no policies. They just sit around criticising the Tories for doing everything they would be doing if they were still in government and refuse point blank to say what they would have done instead. Terrifyingly most opinion polls show Labour are leading by a few points. People are really quick to forget those thirteen years of war and cash splashing. I'm dreading the day they get back in. Labour get in, fuck things up. Tories get in, do all the dirty work, take all the shit for it. Labour come back from the political wilderness after a decade or so when the country is all patched up. Rinse and repeat.

Extend school day, give kids even more homework (because they learned more during the day). Man these idiots are so out of touch with people it blows my mind.

Why don't they follow the example of the school that changed it's hours so that pupils arrived at school an hour or two after they normally would, but stayed for the same amount of time. Teenagers especially are not wired to wake up early. [editline]6th January 2012[/editline] Oh, and the school that did it got better and better grades.
Extend the school day and reduce state school funding by ten percent! Good fucking plan! And it's even better considering every single fucking British politician went to a private school at >£15,000 per term.
Labour calls for longer school days. People call for better schools.
So instead of allowing the parents to properly raise their children the school board wants the children to stay away from their families for even longer? Parents see their kids for about an hour before school and then another 3 or 4 afterwards assuming the child doesn't go out often. They spend more time in school than anything. I don't see this working out so well.
I can see where they're coming from but it just won't work. [editline]7th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;34079420]Extend the school day and reduce state school funding by ten percent!
