My comments were made in the very much 'things ain't what they used to be,' vein. Of course things change when I was a student we had grants and going on to university was the exception rather than the rule for someone who grew up in the arse end of Thornton Heath and was the first in my family to go onto any form of higher education. My university days were a pleasure I know that is not the case for many now who have to take on jobs as well as study and probably work far harder than I ever did.

Hmm Two consecutive posts indicating I am sensitive and offended I am neither There is nothing sensitive about me pointing out a logical mismatch. I don’t get offended by humourless ranting either. Just mildly disappointed

To be fair I could never be a teacher. Hats off to anyone who is or has been. I have delivered professional training but that is totalling different to teaching kids.
