One think I didn't know and cannot get my head round is why there is a pupil premium for educating 'poor' kids. Are they saying that poor kids need more help? It seems to indicate the Education Authority consider poor people thick hence the extra money to educate them which sounds very condescending.
And now because of it free meals could be hit by protest due to sackings.
Sometimes I really do wonder at these Government departments.

Is it not time to get back to basics ? 1. All jobs in the UK to be first offered to able bodied UK residents ( those that refuse work without adequate reasons get NO handouts) 2. All school-age children caught not attending school their parents to be fined heavily. 3. Cancel this rubbish about ALL children being given school meals ( certainly feed kids from very poor backgrounds ). 4. All single parents to be assisted with help to get absent parents to contribute in their children's upbringing ( it took two to create them) 5. Let's have some plans for one bedroom accommodation to be built quickly to ease the present situation of widows/widowers still stuck in family homes when such homes could be released to accommodate families looking to move into larger homes. 6.Let's also have a good look at private landlords who are charging exorbitant rents when young people are desperate for somewhere to live. These in my opinion are just a few things which tackled properly could make Britain Great again.
"Some children starting school are unable to use a knife and fork; aren't toilet trained; have never sat a table; have never held a pencil or crayon; have very poor communication skills (talking and listening); have no concept of counting or the alphabet; have never held a book".
And surely the reasons for this cannot be attributed to being poor.
