161298 2003-07-21 11:34:00 About nine years ago I heard how in the earlier part of the twentieth century these twelve year olds were asked these maths questions and at that time these teacher trainees were asked the same questions. Guess who got the best results? mikebartnz (21)

161303 2003-07-21 21:34:00 Just another afterthought, "Why can't the English learn to speak?"
To hear perfect English go to Scotland, no, not Glasgow, further north to the highlands and Aberdeen.
They also have (or did) a far superior educational system to England, and no, I'm not Scots.

161304 2003-07-21 21:36:00 Obviously a subject that interests you Terry,it's the couldn't care less attitude that prevails today on most subjects today that bothers me,including language.
Lots of Porritts round my neck of the woods,that is round Buxton.
