It has been reported that the Welsh Sinnod has halted a project whereby a charity called ‘The Size of Wales’ has planted 25 million trees in Eastern Uganda, this cost 0.0001% of the Welsh Governments budget. Put forward by Plaid Cymru and supported by the right wing monkeys it was condemned by Labour and the Greens. What is it with people on the right and with nationalist tendencies? They are obviously not Christians (unless condemning Muslims and other faiths) as the ignore parables such as the Good Samaritan. They also want to continue with the pollution of our planet – nasty fuckers.
Whilst being nasty seems to be spreading, the government is introducing new legislation to make it a legal requirement that students do not have a phone in their pockets or bags during the school day; to my mind this seems oppressive. Although I stoped teaching 10 years ago, I never had a problem, not one, of students using their phones during the day. Surely a policy of destroying phones used during lessons would be fairer, more practical and ensure compliance. Teachers have enough to do to meet unreasonable targets without having to to act as false police. I had a really nasty head who said that tutors should send girls with tight fitting trousers to an exclusion classroom – I refused to look at teenage girls bottoms to decide if their trousers were too tight, and I would refuse to search students bags and clothing to ensure they were not concealling a phone. I taught at a nice middle class school so I may have been one of a priviledged few – there must be a better solution. As a dad I encouraged my daughter to have her phone on her so she could tell me if she was visiting friends or staying late for a club, and she was a pupil at my school! Will schools provide small lockers for phones – they would be targets for a major heist (1200 phones in one place with little security?
Nvidia boss is accused of spying, admits being unfaithful, and Trump states that he is a fine person. So much is wrong with powerful men, and probably a lot of the rest. Personally I think it is time for a new movement that would include all types of sexuality and gender and race “Equal but different”. Women should not have to compete with men in careers, or athletics for that matter. A lot of men will find it difficult to understand that a woman has mental capacities that far out weigh the physical sixe and weight of a man, girls constantly out perform men in school subjects (although this maybe down to men being immature for longer). Many girls are brought up to be subservient to men, this cannot be legislated for, society needs time to adjust, just as has for gays since the 1970’s.
