We Don’t Need No Education
Last week, the British Government accepted an amendment to an education bill, giving children as young as five the legal right to tell teachers how they should be taught and disciplined for bad behaviour. Pupils will be handed an unprecedented say in the running of their schools - from the uniforms they wear to the meals they eat:
In the House of Lords, Children’s Minister Baroness Morgan said: ‘As a minimum, schools should seek and take account of pupils’ views on policies on the delivery of the curriculum, behaviour, the uniform, school food, health and safety, equalities and sustainability, not simply on what colour to paint the walls.’
Ministers have already issued guidance to schools saying pupils can have a role in recruiting staff and observe lessons to give feedback on how well they believe they are being taught.
Schools run by children? I can see nothing wrong with this whatsoever.
Let’s face it, children as young as five are already adults, it makes sense that they are allowed to direct curriculum, behaviour, and to have a say in who gets hired or fired.
Other than minor things like, children’s lunches will now consist of spaghetti with M & M’s, this is pretty much the best plan I have ever heard. Britain is only days away from having the perfect society. Equality has pretty much been achieved in Britain, it’s nearly time to celebrate. Just think, in a few short years, everyone in Britain will make the same amount of money, no one will be smarter than anyone else, everyone will be the same height and weight, and everyone will be one colour.
Schools run by children? Why not indeed, it seems parliament already is, why not schools?

Makes me want to read the lord of the flies again.
I think piggies punishment for having a non standard weight should be death!
I bet if a child says they want the strap as a punishment there will be a good rationalization for the exception.

This is good news. This weakens western civilization and brings the victory of Bolshevism closer! Hurrah!

But, just think, no more “dropouts”, no failing exams!
Hopefully the Department of National Defence will see the benefits of this, and will soon have five year olds on board, manning the nuclear weapons sites.

How many times must I wish that England rests in peace?
