What was our Minister For Education's replacement strategy? Why, anyone can open up their own 'Academy' in a disused church or similar building. As Anonymous said "Spending money on education? SHAAAAAME!" The worry over here is that because our 'leaders' all went to private schools ( mostly Eton) they don't see the point of renovating/renewing the public stock. Indeed up until the BSF project began we still had primary schools with outside toilets- a legacy of our great Victorian program building schools for the 19th CenturyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19457872.post-13334446521558139332010-08-23T17:12:16.792-04:002010-08-23T17:12:16.792-04:00Spending money on education?

So many time cities and towns demolish sports stadiums or entertainment centers just to build more modern state of the art structures. The building of these structures barely raises an eye brow. When proposals are made for new school buildings, state of the art equipment, or better instructional materials it is debated and talked about until its death. Some have the mindset what was good enough for me should be good enough for todays students. Thinking like this we would never have sent anyone to the moon, had vaccines developed, or modern technologies to help us. Thank you again for sharing your blog. kmb211Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983695020233489435noreply@blogger.com
