The Dishi-Rishi thread....

[Fab Foodie]

In other Dishi Rishi news, I just heard that he is planning to try and change the rules so that people can only go on strike if it doesn't inconvenience anyone. You can tell that he lives in the real world and identifies with the common man...

When was the last time financiers, Stokbrokers, Assett and Hedge-fund managers went on strike over pay eh?
When was the last industrial dispute at Slater-Nazi?
Exactly....

Agreed. Probably the hardest question that a parent has to deal with is "WHY DO I HAVE TO LEARN THIS?". Giving real world examples to children leaning maths is essential. If you don't understand why you need to know it, your motivation for learning something goes right down.

Do you mean this sort of thing?

It's been brought to my attention that Sunak has been copying Miliband's homework.

My Maths teacher friend tells me there aren't enough specialists to get this off the ground. I suspect this will be like my General Studies A level where they didn't have a spare French teacher to teach the language component so the Domestic Science teacher did it because 20 years earlier she had got a French A level. We didn't do well. Anybody with a calculator and grade E or above Maths will be teaching it.

Was it a good idea then or still as 'outrageous ' as it appears to be today, or is it one of those 'times change ' scenarios?

It's difficult for me to answer because I think the entire school and education system is rotten, corrupt, unfit for purpose, damages children and needs reforming totally and utterly from the ground up.

I think still a bit nutty. I agree with @winjim that the whole education system needs an overhaul. We are still teaching and examining as if we were Victorians. We need kids to be learning to research and access information at their fingertips, not pointlessly memorise stuff. My daughter is trying to memorise quotes about Macbeth for her English exams. Why? For what possible reason is that useful? Let the kids have the book, physical or digital. They still need to know the text, they can annotate and mark it up. The exam should be testing their understanding of the book, not whether they can remember the contents verbatim.

must be a good idea then?

I notice there is also a bit about carriers advice, yet more good ideas.

I'm not sure about good or bad. Chaotic, if nothing else.

Wow, rotten, corrupt and damages children.

Not a fan then?

Dare I ask your main issues with it?

Quite frankly, I don't have the spoons.

Ok, you planning on eating something?

Why can’t the England based media be this persistent?

I have absolutely no idea why BBC journalists are not as persistent and am absolutely sure it's nothing to do with Tim Davie, Director General, former Conservative Councillor and former deputy chair of the Hammersmith and Fulham Conservative Party nor Richard Sharp, BBC Chairman , former advisor to Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak and donator of over £400,000 to the Conservative party. They remain absolutely and entirely independent of any government influence, it's just that they want the BBC to "find a better balance of satirical targets rather than constantly aiming jokes at the Tories".

 

[Poacher]

All those lefties piling in to condemn Rishi Sunak for removing his seat belt need to remember that laws are meant for little people.
