When and how did our education system become so blighted with this all-pervasive "edutainment" idea
Teachers should be offering an education. Education requires working and effort, and deferred gratification. Instead, we are supposed to be all singing, all dancing "edutainers", churning out spoon fed, flabby brained school leavers, who have never in their lives had to nurture or develop any type of intrinsic motivation to do anything.
These boards are full of parents complaining that their children are "bored", but what do the parents do about it? How about instilling a bit of discipline, or work ethic?
And as for the G an T parents, they can be the worst of all. Have you never heard that old adage "only fools are bored" - so true!
