Have a Good NEWS

Playing the blame game

Today seems the day is with all the young people involved will have a say in the riots. So who's going 's for what \ blame "?

(Brianlightman @) According to Brian Lightman, head of the Association of School and College Leaders need to take a critical look at the parents themselves:

"The parents are not willing to say" no ". The short, simple words is an important part of any child 's education.

It 's desperately important that children have a sense of right and wrong. But we often come to children who have never said that something is wrong. "

Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of Kids Company casts a lack of role models:

"You do not feel 't included in the mainstream society, their role models are drug dealers ... the drug dealers and their measure of powerful people.

So, if they 're looking for heroes in their community, they don' t get the role models they need, what they 're always are people who' ve done well by crime. "

@ Talkcoach_educ Tweets:

"Bad language is linked to bad behavior in very young children - 2 in 3 language delayed 3-year-old behavior problems \ have."

In his blog has educationalist David Price (davidpriceobe @) with your finger to the target culture in schools:

"The withdrawal of many of these young people begins in school when their interests sacrificed on learning in the pursuit of high-stakes testing and the associated 'drilling and killing' is, doing the worksheets instead of professional experience, learn them, not with them, and if the concept of a 'values-driven curriculum' is seen as a dangerous left-nonsense, and the dominance of academic knowledge has no respect for schools whose children wanted to learn real-life, driven practical skills.

Brendan O 'Neill' s blog blame the welfare state.

"March of the welfare state into every aspect of the less affluent urban population 's lives, from their financial well-being of their child-rearing habits, and even in her emotional life - with the rise of therapeutic welfarism developed to ensure that the poor remain" mentally fit '-.. has helped to undermine such things as individual creativity and social ties, the anti-social young rioters look at me like the end product of such anti-social system of state intervention "

But the Mail, in the person of James Slack, implies it's the Guardian wot done it:

"Caught in the grip of the political class 's Lust media blood, the former commissioner Sir Paul - all acknowledged in the police service as a" good copper' with an iron will - from the office via a link controlled by the phone hacking scandal.

He had an ex-News of the World Executive employs - that would in healthy times brought him nothing more than a modest carpet ".

Education News from the Guardian

. Our history through the Open University of older learners, the pricing is drawing much comment. Many are sad that their hopes on the study for pleasure later in life through the new £ 5,000 fee tariff shattered. Others are always on the Nitty Gritty of the system.

Wozzer1001 says:

It seems a lack of understanding of how the new fee system works. If you take out a loan fee, you pay no fees upfront. Repayment of the loan amount to income and not on the size of the loan. The difference is that higher loans take longer to pay back. If you are older than those who are on OU courses, then it is likely that you will never pay off your loan.

Therefore, the £ 5k 'fee' will be spread over a long period and pay back the actual amount people will depend on how much they earn and how long they work for. This is the £ 5k OU 'fee' look less scary for older students. "

"@ Wozzer1001: I don 't think you understand what most people here are saying about fees you receive your first degree of credit, pay the fee back if you are covered earn over 21k ..

For your second degree, you get nothing, and you pay to do everything yourself.

A lot of OU students are on their second degree. "

. We 've an interesting blog by Harry Patrinos, Lead Education Economist at the World Bank, the private sector can play a useful role in the educational standards to play. He looks at examples in the U.S. and the Netherlands and concludes that, if it 's right a lot of autonomy and accountability for the schools.
