I think you need to do your homework. You obviously know nothing about the Parties, just the one you don't like, which is fine. But you need to go and understand the very foundation of the others. That foundation does not change. Conservatism isn't something malleable. |

Many Students are having to work in many places to get their money to stay alive in this New Labour Depression. Sign Of The Times. |
"...Yet, for reasons I find increasingly hard to understand, the Labour Party has been hesitant about defending its own policy record. This is surprising because Labour’s decade-long policy output is so superior to the Conservatives’ platform for the future that the latter does not stand up to serious analysis. On education, for instance, the Conservative vision is to divert funding to building new independent schools. This will incur unnecessary costs for taxpayers. Additionally, some of their proposed schools are to be funded based on the number of children they attract. The Tories are ignorant of, or unconcerned by, the severe distributional implications of this competitive system.
Wealthier parents will have an incentive to invest more in their children’s education in the same way they invest in luxury cars. Inevitably, schools in poorer areas will fall behind. The imperative for education should transcend the obsession with individual success conditioned by market competition and the profit motive. Equally questionable is the Conservatives’ evaluation of education, which resembles an engineer’s assessment of road construction. Using percentages of “poor discipline” and “truancy” to punish teachers and state schools is nonsense. It conjures up America’s No Child Left Behind programme, whose assembly-line approach consigned students to a vicious cycle of inequality. Education is a complex co-productive process, in which students, parents and teachers are all responsible for the outcome." http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-polit...-british-costs |

"With full-time students tending to work an average of 14 hours a week (although one in five puts in 15 to 20 hours and another one in five more than 20 hours each week), the report also warns that paid employment may be having a damaging impact on their studies." Yes under this New Labour Education It is no wonder some are leaving and others having to work extra hours to keep funds going. |
Yes it might be ****, but its light years ahead of anything the Tories have planned!
