Is this the kind of thing they should be teaching our children?

Judging by this 12 year old's handwriting, they should be concentrating on more important matters.

Oh dear is it I who has done something wrong once again, or was you referring to jno?
If it was me, wasn't these your words?
/// i recall a short while ago the government released a report on the number of kids who dont even have english their a first language, and there were various other figures on what they were unable to do at the age of seven. ///
/// when all the kids over here that come out of primary school can read and write etc to a certain standard then worry about other countries. ///
I was simply addressing them, sorry.

The main point being that you accused him of getting on the gravy train. Is it twisting it around to point out the job is unpaid and there is no gravy train?
Why not fess up baz and admit you cocked up the question by doing no research?

"its very simple why doesnt GB concentrate on this country and its problems first ? "
Because he wants to work with the UN on global education - in an unpaid capacity, as others have pointed out. I don't understand why that's a problem. He's still an MP (presumably) to the satisfaction of his constituents, seeing as he was re-elected there. He is no longer a member of the British government which for obvious reasons has an obligation to prioritise UK education. What's your problem? Would you rather he went and got a job with the IMF or something?

I cocked nothing up, somebody else explained where the "unpaid" part was and it seems that myself and another had the same issue wherby it wasnt showing in our browsers.
Ok, lets put the gravy train bit aside then shall we and stick to the main point which is why doesnt he put his efforts into improving the lot of kids here in the UK rather these thirld world places.

/// What exactly is wrong with addressing swearing to kids? Schools are supposed to help equip them with the tools to interact with others ///
Perhaps they could teach them that swearing proves one's limited knowledge of English, a person should be able to get their point over without the use of expletives.
