tadium, but that is hardly why I send my child school.
Basic literacy is appalling, before they do anything else they need to ensure every child is taught to read and write. I actually favour a system where they cannot progress until they pass a test which is designed to ensure they have the basics nailed.
This is why are Children are being failed by the education system.
Telegraph article comment by ayshf_m
As Linnie has just responded when I read this comment to her -
"The educational system ethos IS move them on at any cost"
... and as oldbikergit has also commented -Most teachers are useless, and are completely oblivious to the real world, as they have always been at school. Therefore it is not strange that they find it hard to adapt and to change what they know best, and any changes that have occurred are more about left leaning ideology, than improvements to take advantage of technology. All teachers should have to spend some time out of the schoolroom and in commerce and industry, unless this happens they will always be inadequate.
... to which Linnie also responded -
"That goes for politicians also, doesn't it !!!???"

s. The inability of companies like Microsoft and Dell to cope quickly enough
with this change led to their current problems. The steady, thorough way that companies like
Amazon and Salesforce have used the new technology to go after their elders’ business is what
makes them contenders.

opinion that overpopulation is a major problem. He noted that... "Fifty-eight academies of science said that same thing in 1994, as did the world scientists' warning to humanity in the same year. My view has become depressingly mainline!" Ehrlich also stated that 600 million people were very hungry, billions were under-nourished, and that his predictions about disease and climate change were essentially correct. Retrospectively, Ehrlich believes that... The Population Bomb was "way too optimistic".…
ehandedly, he established the policy which controlled both sides of the cold war for more than 40 years.
The irony of the US "containment" approach towards the Soviet Union, which Kennan proposed in 1947, was that it assumed exactly the opposite shape to that which he thought he had recommended. The concept emerged from a tiny seed planted when an unknown US Treasury official sent a message to the American embassy in Moscow asking why the Russians were being difficult at the World Bank. The official could never have anticipated the page-upon-page response which clattered into the state department telex room on the afternoon of February 22 1946.

he living part of this planet. "We decide" to have too many children, we expect somehow to continue to have enough clean water & food. Overpopulation however has made this impossible, too much human waste fouls our water, air & food & we continue to have too many children. This can only lead to disaster, a collapse of our excessive numbers. All [y]our hopes & worthless prayers can not change anything until WE CHANGE, we MUST stop having so many dam CHILDREN ! Because of our horrible overpopulation, we have set our course to collapse, billions of us will die of starvation, disease & wars. This is the future we are leaving our children, but not me, I had no children out of choice, I won't have to watch my children suffering because of the poor choice I made by having them.

IT IS truly shocking that Sheila has had to arrive at this conclusion, but not one of [y]our leaders of the globe have DONE anything about Colin Mason's 2 Axioms, let alone understand them - SO THIS IS the biggest thing David Suzuki has ever done, and ALL Power to his elbow, as they say. Around the world, more than 110 nations recognise the right to live in a healthy environment ... but not Canada. Together, we can change that: http://www.bluedot.ca/join-us
