UK Teachers Say Censor The Internet
Marlow the Irelander writes "The BBC is reporting that in response to a YouTube video of a schoolboy breaking his teacher's window (yes, this is a video), NASUWT, one of the teaching unions in the UK, is calling for legislation to control the internet. Could Britain, rather than the US, be the main front of the battle against censorship in 2007?" From the article:
"Unfortunately, any yob or vandal can now have their 15 minutes of fame, aided and abetted by readily accessible technology and irresponsible internet sites which enable such behaviour to be glorified.
[The general secretary of the union] said the union supported a zero tolerance approach in schools to pupils who used technology to abuse and undermine teachers, and called for more rigorous legislative control of internet sites which gave them license."

Wow, you're truly a stupid fucker. I don't think you even bothered to read the post you're replying to. He pointed out that kids, including himself, were brats back then. I mean, look at these two sentences directly from his post:
...". What you're talkin about is irrelevant by a couple thousand years!
"They were harsh with us because many of us were stupid little buggers!"
"We weren't perfect youth 50 years ago. We were mischevous little boys and girls."
See, "bugger" is a relatively harsh term to use in British English, especially when referring to one's self and one's peers. It's about equivalent to the American "cocksucker".
And what's with your bullshit from Socrates? We're clearly talking about kids 50 to 70 years ago, as shown by the first fucking line of his post: "Having grown up as an English lad in the 1940s and 1950s,
He's spot on about the chav culture. I live in Belgium, but I visit London several times a year. They're all over the place. And most of them are basically criminals. Calling them "scum" is putting it very politely. The rudeness these shits display on the public transit system is embarassing. If anything, the media does nowhere near enough to show the true nature of those kids.
Before you try to reply to a post in the future, at least put forth the minor effort needed to read that post. Make sure you don't take the stance that the original poster is wrong, when in fact you're agreeing with many of his points! My God, you don't even have the most basic of analytical and discussion skills expected from a child.
Please sit down and shut up.
Thanks for clarifying what sort of a teacher you are. Pollution, solution, anyone?
But I would find great boredom in, say, being an actuary
So that whole egotistical teachers thing I was pointing out, again...

Look Mac, I know that this is from the Isle of the Kidney-Pie Eaters and Sun Readers
but the dumbing down of school children is a world-wide agenda. I suppose if you had hailed
from the Wunderbar Land of the Teuton Pork Sausage Eaters and Bild Readers you would have
demanded a book called "Die Verdummung von Deutschland".
Since you appear to have a chip on your shoulder let me round things off:
Your masters are Germans, (Haus Sachsen-Coburg) and your national anthem is in fact
a German hymn and that starts with "Heil Dir dem Siegerkranz".
I take it you don't live in the UK then. More likely they got counselling and a nice holiday somewhere warm!

This is an slanderous and discriminatory statement, breathtaking in its scope that, quite frankly, any normal person should find deeply offensive. Literally, it makes something like "all blacks are lazy" - itself a singularly racist and small-minded insult - little more than a mildly critical observation
You slobbering idiot. You realise you are saying that "discrimination" -lol- against teachers (not any kind of ethnic minority last time I checked) is breathtakingly more importantly than racism against people of dark skin? This is exactly the kind of Jesus complex I'd expect from a civil service lifer who such as yourself, regardless of whatever fairy tale you make up as a life story next. What a muppet. How does fat like this get modded up?
Why attack not only an entire profession but, indeed, anyone who has ever passed on the knowledge and experience they have to another, when all you really mean is "just like any profession, teaching has some bad apples" ?
In the teaching profession, the good apples are in the extreme minority. Of course, every teacher likes to tell themselves they are in this minority. But its easier to set up straw men than to actually face that.
