100% of rewards from this post go to #celi130.
@celi130 is facing hard times with massive inflation where she lives and also looks after her elderly mother who requires medications. I am not at liberty to say why as that is nothing to do with me.
If you want to read her articles she does explain in those.
So with my good fortune and milestone of reaching 50k blurt in 3 months on here I would like to do something for someone else.
I gave away over 6k blurt before and during xmas/new year so have none left to give liquid.
So please upvote this as you are not being asked to put your hand in your own pocket and give. You are simply being asked to upvote this post that will be auto directed to her as she is the sole beneficiary.
I am set at 0% and she is set at 100%.
If you upvote any of my comments I will also donate 100% of any liquid returns to her on the day they arrive, 7 days after any vote.
I am also now after my 3 month experiment going to be buying some more blurt on ionomy and hive engine.
I hope you are feeling generous and will give her some superb upvotes here.
Caring is sharing, share the love please.
Have a superb evening.
Maybe I went to an unusual school ;-)
Actually, when old Grammar schools were being hijacked in the UK and turned into "modern secondaries", many thought, fk this, and became private. The deep irony is that the Grammar schools were destroyed by the same party that created them, and were designed to help the smart poor. Obedience is now as important as having any gifts.
My oldest sister is an alleged teacher, with a very liberal slant. She tells me English spelling and grammar have not been part of English language teaching since the late 1960's!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it's pathetic - a kid may end up knowing more French grammar than English!
I ignored it as a kid - taught myself many things - now teaching my kid to have the same attitude.
The new cohort of "instructors" lurv to teach higher order skills - except the kids have no lower order skills - like spelling, grammar, punctuation, logic.
Indeed, and where is financial planning in the liberal minded schools? Or how to grow a plant, plant a seed? As you know been home schooling over 2 years, my daughter appreciates money now, saves, can cook, sing, play instruments, all of which any school would never have taught, she can cook too.
She has read more books in 7 years than I have in 55 years.
My girl has always loved cookery progs - we used to watch "I can cook!" years ago. Anyway, when trying to make the recipes, it dawned on me that none of them required actual cooking skills! lmao. Everything was either baked or set in a fridge/freezer. Never were the kids taught how to handle a saucepan or frying pan. Sure, they are kids, but so what? Sure, it can be dangerous if you're not taught how to, so is walking down the stairs. Once we figured out this slight flaw in the kitchen skills, we moved on to Jamie and then Gordon. lol
Find John Taylor Gatto material - he has great rants.
What schools really teach.
But also the flip side - what do elite schools really teach? And it isn't just better subjects but a whole different attitude.
I went to 3 different types of secondary schools and the differences were the attitude - flash new equipment does not buy an education. Indeed, the lack of some gizmos meant we had to think more.
The last school I attended was Desford college, 5th year or 15 due to a move from the city to the country. I was used to strict rules, Sir, Miss, uniforms etc.
When I arrived in the countryside not far from Atherstone to the village named Witherly I attended this new to me school.
You called the teachers by their first names, no uniform, if you did not like a lesson you could swap it, they also let me leave whilst doing work experience at a local garage as I said I had no desire to sit exams as the subjects were not the same as the last school I came from.
Totally relaxed way of teaching, it never caught on. Shame that, it was fun.
I can only help a little with the amount of BP I have. I will reblut your post and hope many will help with upvotes.
Thank you, it all helps.
