english schools
by and large state schools are quite crap. just a few weeks working in one last year and there were several kids i wanted to stab with a biro. or shoot. i swear the parents were drinking / smoking / on meth for the entire pregnancy (dad before, for his beat up spunk to produce THOSE THINGS) ... and what's with having the seriously deficient kids in with those who can learn? that's what special schools are for. you don't help the special kid by putting them in with the bright ones, you bring the bright ones down by slowing everything up and needing a special teacher in the classroom at the same time. it's saddening (and infuriating).

i swear, compulsory 2 year conscription would sort a lot of this shit out.

Slow down
(and, conversely, speed up).
