Subject: RE: BS: UK Education:Too Many Clever People?
Actually the subject was called "Integrated Humanities", but it often turned out to be "Disintegrated", being basically Sociology with attempts to bolt on bits of History and Geography -so twas merely said in jest!
On the subject of educational advisers:-
To the tune of that Monkees hit:-
I'm an Adviser
I've grown tired of all this classroom teaching, Kids and parents always in your face, Fussing, fighting, poking, Twitching twiddling too Can't carry on at this high octane pace..
I've completed two years at the frontline, Now it's time to say "enough's enough" I'm going on a fast-track course, Of how to talk bullshit And with all those buzzwords I will huff and puff.
And I've seen the light, Now I'm an adviser, Spout a load of shite, With great authority, Hey, this is the life,hey I'm an adviser Now I can be a skiver and I'm alright.
I peddle pearls of wisdom from government think tanks, Don't fret anymore when the photocopier jams, But you'd think that I'd invented The wheel or the old sliced loaf, When I'm regurgitating a load of recycled spam
And I've seen the light,
No more daily worrying and stressing, I've fallen on my feet and played it cute, A very determined expression, On my face I wear and My bum is crammed inside a trouser suit
And I've seen the light,
No more around the building I'll be rushing, My life expectancy going down the pan, I'm positively gushing, With wonderful ideas, In fact you could say I'm born again
And I've seen the light,
I'll set up my powerpoint presentation, I'll talk the talk, but the walk I will decline, The only real threat To my way of life Is caffeine poisoning somewhere down the line.
