Teaching in a class room is probably very hard.
With having thick kids and smart kids, some who have parents that can help at home, and some that can't.
I think trying to push life skills in a class room environment would be difficult if these things were not present in the home.
Imagine telling a kid who eats shit food daily and never has new clothes that his dad should not have a big TV, and his mum shouldn't use her credit card for her new shoes. It could cause difficulties.

Yer, they've got their priorities right and
teachers should butt out.

I don't think teachers should butt out,
But it's not something you can just slot in to a curriculum.

I think we should.
There has to be some sort of authority figure explaining that there is a sensible, non-ruinous way to conduct your finances.

I agree entirely,
But it is going to cause friction if a kid goes home with his basic economics home work, which clearly states parent is an idiot for their financial choices, thick people are going to kick up a fuss like every time someone tries to help them.

We are shackled by the stupid in society all the time.

I'm probably sick
I woke up at 7am (even though I didn't have to) in a good mood. Now I have french toast and blueberries and the feeling isn't dispersing. Fucked up it what it is

I puked for about 12 hours straight when I was in cyprus, in the end it was like fluroescent yellow goo

and I once puked on a paramedic
after giving blood. I'm banned from the welsh blood service

I had food poisoning for about 10 days after a dodgy BBQ. I the end it was black.

indeed
I was "a bit unwell" after an almost back-street appendectomy (Bradford Royal Infirmary back in the early 90s). They'd stapled me up badly and didn't put a drain on the wound, so a week later the blood clots squeezed my intestine closed and everything went backwards.

Very messy.

Last time I vomited it was in the back of my friends car,
And I was so drunk I tried to vomit in to my own hands and it sort of ricocheted out if my hands on to the back of the head of the girl in the front seat.

That's better.
I once tried to puke out my mate's car window, thinking it was open. It wasn't. He wasn't best pleased.

This but "my dad's car, when I was 17"

That's textbook, piggers.
I once got up in the middle of the night to go for a piss to find my brother, his girlfriend and his mate all trying to be sick into the same toilet. It was very amusing. Much vomiting on each other. i thought about trying to piss through a gap, but decided best not to.

You're the best drunk ever.

( Kroney, Wed 30 Oct 2013, 10:09, Reply)

In fairness, I once watched a mate precisely fill a pint glass to the brim with puke
without spilling a drop. then put it down and carry on drinking. I've yet to see this bettered.

I don't understand why people can't just get nicely drunk and be satisfied.

It's all a massive fraud, you know. He may be in Scotland
but he's not actually Scottish. I don't know why he's been allowed to get away with this for so long.

I realise this
I assume by now he would have gone native

I do have a kilt, though.
I will be wearing it in That London at the start of december if that makes you feel any better?

This was actually in Shropshire
