#UPON THE #PROPOSALS OF THE #PRESENT #UK #GOVERNMENT IN AS #FAR AS #EDUCATION IS #CONCERNED

 Thus saith the Lord God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

   Thus say I unto thee all the educational proposals put forward by thy government at this time can be of no benifit to the education of British children rather the opposite and those which are at present in existence in England should be as thou would put it scrapped and the school system should be the same in the all of the UK. No matter the intentions of the present government which has good intentions in as far as seeking to re-introduce this school system, it will resurrect an elitist system widening the social class divisions that still exist in this country.

    Better it would be for the present educational system to be overhauled building more schools employing better qualified teachers reducing class numbers and putting in place better security improving discipline and looking at what motivates children from poor countries which have a better achievement rate than children in the UK yet whose schools have a simpler academic curriculum which comes to the point that trying to fill children’s minds with too much knowledge leads to stress and stress leads to under achievement. There is far to much pressure upon children to absorb the knowledge that a complex curriculum as is taught in schools in the UK and to achieve standards that are far beyond the capabilities of many children. To change to a simpler curriculum is needed with a better psychological achievement motivator that encourages learning without unnecessary pressure to try to achieve the unachievable.

    Also there is a lacking in schools of teaching the children how to use the knowledge they gain in a wise and practical manner as was taught in the old Greek philosophical colleges of Plato’s times and the encouragement to gain wisdom beyond all things taught in proverbs by King Solomon. Look unto the ancient Greek systems of learning and the teaching academies of King Solomon’s days and thou wilt see that thou hast much to learn from them about educating children. But to end, of what use to businesses small and large if the children when they apply for employment cannot practicaly apply the knowledge they have acquired in school in their employment and their everyday lives.

This is the Word of the Lord to thee

From the prophet of the Lord.
