I'm beginning to hope that we lose tomorrow's game so that NSC can revert to its usual state of binfestery and we get no more bouncing of pointless ancient threads.
My point is that there are many people who pre-judge children who attend Pupil Referral Units. Those kids need better treatment than that. I'm not going to pre-judge any of them myself and I'm not going in search of a glib phrase to describe "them". They are, in fact, all individuals.
I think one of the things I'm trying to say is that describing bicycle thieves as "subhuman pieces of filth" isn't helping anyone.
Maybe that comes across as wishy washy liberalism, but there's not much of that about these days, and I think the case can still be made for showing a bit of...
Why would that be?
Because the young people who attend Pupil Referral Units are, for the most part, the children who have been excluded from mainstream education because of their extreme disruptive behaviour.

Why describe the current debate about the future of secondary education as if it was all about the re-introduction of grammar schools?
For most young people it will be all about the re-introduction of secondary modern schools, where children are condemned to a lifetime of failure, starting at...
It was better when it was the 60 from Mile Oak to the Old Steine and there was a separate service to Whitehawk. Running buses across the busy city centre simply causes them to get stuck in traffic and become unreliable.
Good grief! Is that what you think Corbyn is saying?
He was surely saying something quite different ... anyone who stays behind after work is disrupting the family life of the people who are waiting at home for the worker to return.
It's nothing whatsoever to do with the gender of the worker...
This "story" is, of course, just the latest episode in the long-running saga of Let's Slag Off Jeremy Corbyn Regardless. The curious thing about this game is that it always focuses on something trivial and somehow prevents anyone noticing that there is an anti-austerity message that never gets...
