Not one bit.
Although it's not all bad, I'm only working three days this week.
Alt: We should all be working shorter hours over fewer days. This 5/2 split is ridiculous.
There are more than enough people and more than enough money to make it work better.

Scott is a good place to start, many rate Scott 4.
Or if you're looking for the more eclectic stuff, the more recent Bish Bosch or The Drift present more of a challenging listen.

You're right Nakers, we should put more effort into educating people properly.
I agree with your suggestion of higher taxation to fund this.

nah, many people can only be educated up to a certain level, after that it just gets scrambled in their brain

Even if this wasn't hilariously untrue, I'm not convinced that a 10% reduction on the 11 grand a term fees would count as "not much"

OK fine, I didn't get a scholarship, BUT was in the scholars set
also the fees were only about £20k/yr when I was there

exactly
i mean, kids like my cousin, who's been given a free education in a good school, and who still managed to leave it with a clutch of U's and N's, and is now studying A-levels in photography and media studies... was up smoking and posting on facebook at 3am most nights during her exam period.... yeah, let's chuck more money at kids like that eh, they appreciate it so much. i even bribed her with £50 an A, £40 a B and £20 a C, and she didn't manage to win a lousy purple note.

You always bring up an isolated example, usually from your pikey family, as to why increased funding in education might be a waste of time.
It might work that way in law, where one example of precedent is sufficient, but it's not very scientific.

Also, for what it's worth, research shows that the most beneficial way to spend on education is to pour it into early years.
Your teenage cousin was already a lost cause by the time you tried to bribe it.
