Children are less likely to truant if the lessons aren't boring.

Tell you what Mr Educationalist ~ Children are less likely to truant if you smack their arse when they do. That's my contribution to the debate and you can have the idea free!
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

They don?t like free? if you offered them the same answer as part of a multi-million Pound consultancy project they might be interested.

You can't do free and you need a consultant, a quango of at least six, an accountant and at least two specialists in said field and a budget of ?2m (min) per annum







And after three years you can state the bloody obvious.

I know that but didn't mention it as private knowledge of one's fellow boarders should never be broadcast.
Frankly I don't blame you for taking their money (as you know I am not averse to having some of it myself)
I blame them for giving it to us though!

I console myself by thinking of it as recycling.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
