£230m schools vision unveiled
Yakub Qureshi11/ 4/2008
SWEEPING plans to issue pupils with laptop computers and offer new subjects such as golf, robotics and horse riding have been unveiled by Oldham education bosses.
Schools could also have continental-style hours with pupils starting at 7am and parents could check their children's exams scores over the internet.
Our country is totally knackered .Its time to turn back the clocks and do what schools should be doing?????
"EDUCATING CHILDREN" The three "Rs".Just to think children in the third world have very few books and some actually write on slate etc and yet they can read and write ?but some of our children are leaving school that cannot even write their own name or do a simple sum??? turn back the clocks and do our children a favour.
