You're getting your Jews confused.
Racist.

I barely have time to post on here anymore I'm doing so much killing. Might add a bit of raping and pillaging in there too, just to spice it up a bit. Keep it fresh and enjoyable.

Nooo. I'm sure I'm not, I know Sootyj has had problems too, but Ian was asking if the site was working for everyone else I'm sure.
Hmm. *looks in Elliot's direction suspiciously*
Ok... Seems to ring a bell. Hmm.
I just got back from visiting a school created specifically for students with learning disabilities. It was really cool.
A lot of little things makes the school what it is.
-Small class sizes
-Hard subjects at the first half of school and the less demanding classes like art and gym are at the end
- the students are allowed to move at their own pace. This even goes for moving faster than the rest of the kids. I was in one class where the grade 13 year olds were doing advanced math at the level where 16 or 17 year olds were doing math.
- A lot of the kids had behavioral issues so instead of just punishing them for hitting a kid, they would have to hear from the victim why they didn't like what they did and work out their differences. In the long run it made kids go from constant problem kids to next to zero problems.
- They mixed subjects. For example they were learning about electricity in science class but they were creating these light boards that would light up if you answered a question correctly. And the kids got to choose what the question was. Most of them choose a math problem that they really liked.
Anyways sorry for rambling I was just excited about what I saw and how far these kids had come when most of them would have been written off in the public system.
That does sound great. Our school system is f**ked up here. If it was working we wouldn't have so many children who can't evn spl rite. Grrrr

Soft liberal nonsense. Hose 'em down with cold water beat them to within an inch of their lives and give 'em breakfast. Preferably oats rolled in tarmac. That's the discipline these wasters need.
As for behavioural issues. Hanging. They won't do it again.
I have an itching feeling the "Roscoff School of No-Nonsense" would have to close down shortly after the first day when they ran out of students from their lesson at the gallows.

That school sounds great. I wouldn't be surprised if you get more well-rounded individuals leaving that school than in some of the inner-city schools in the UK.
I always thought I would have benefited a lot more from Steiner education.

It certainly would have been a lot better than double Geography on a Friday afternoon.
And I chose Geography as my degree. Balls.

Balls indeed.

That'a a bit humiliating, isn't it? So if a kid gets picked on for being fat, he's got to tell his bully why he didn't like it? I'd have thought that was obvious.

It's called restorative justice and you'd be surprised at how well it really does work especially with kids that age.
