There will be a poll in a moment.


Mr Osborne is too busy to read this forum these days, but you can see his answer here:

According to that article the cuts will affect only kids under 5. But they shouldn't be in school anyway - This idea of corraling toddlers into schools from the age of 2, to ingratiate the Government with parents, is ridiculous and will turn the kids in later life into comformist mediocrities with barely a spark of originality. Why do you think the Chinese are such a bunch of copy cats? That's the way the UK will go if we're not careful.

Genius stems from solitude in early life, as much as anything, and not spending every waking hour packed in a room with 30 other kids from almost the day they can walk.

Referring to the possibility of inviting a porn star to speak to his pupils, Mr Slater, 59, said: "I wouldn't rule it out simply because of what they have done in their life if I felt that person was going to put across good values and be a good influence.

Right then children, last week we discussed the importance of fidelity, monogamy and waiting for the right one to come along. This week we'll move on to felching and snowballing. Elizabeth; would you like to start?

No it doesn't.

it is reported that the protected part of that budget only covers children aged between five and 16.

Hardly:

It is vital that children are made aware of the differences between online porn and genuine, fulfilling relationships, he argued.

The idea of pre-school education is to decrease the effect of having tulip parents.

I've heard stories over the years of an area not that far from me full of primary schools where kids arrive at age 4/5 wearing nappies, not being able to eat with cutlery and not being able to talk properly simply because their parents can't be bothered.

Some of the parents are in their 20s - and I had to say "parents" rather than "parent" as the guys are generally good at threatening to kill a teacher who tells their kid off.
