Oh my Gawd! Don't get me started on the crap education system, so bad it's not even worthy of a capital letter!

NEVER have we lived in a time where our children are being switched off from learning!

Never before have we lived in a time of such Coropate education.

Education is no longer about learning, it's about tick boxes, controlling, punishment, failing, making loadsa money, stressing our kids to the point of suicide!!

It's about making them feel that they are ONLY 10 GCSEs and 3 A Levels and that nothing else matters, apart from going to university of course, where you get a £15,000 debt and get to work in Tesco's at the end of it all, if yer lucky!

I could rant for THE WORLD on the crisis that is happening. I could scream from the rooftops about the DAMAGE that school does to so many children...and I could weep enough tears to fill the oceans of this planet 10 times over about the scars that go so deep inside some people, that stay with them for the rest of their lives, put there by Control Freaks who have no idea, no understanding that each child within their care is so very precious, so very different.

The wonderful teachers we remember all our lives, and they work so hard to ease the damage they see happening. The crap teachers couldn't give a shit, only there for the job and the holidays and the ritual humiliation!

Hey, pretend I'm a mother of 30 kids, do you think I could raise them all on my own? Course I bloody couldn't...so WHY do we still think that ONE teacher should be teaching 30 or more kids?????

Children need love and warmth and trust and inspiration. They need to be taught by people who choose to see their strengths and build on those, by people who realise that every brain thinks differently, lights up differently, and education is as much about the teacher learning about and from the children, as the other way round.

The Western world is now filled with angry, disillusioned kids, who do NOT want to learn, they want to drink to forget the pressure, the constant pressure that is now with them from almost playgroup age.

It's quite literally killing our children..and one day this whole bloody Corporate Dumbed Down Fiasco will be part of the history lessons of the future when hopefully, future generations will look back AGHAST at what we did to our kids, in the name of 'Edukasnon'!!
