[QUOTE=Returnofrros;39434573]Thanks for the information. I have read what was posted.
Recently I was speaking to a retired maths teacher about the falling Education standards throughout Scotland.
He told me that it was because of a poorer gene pool than before.
What a lot of rubbish. It is more likely that it is as a result of poorer teachers being employed and a stupid curriculum being imposed by Scottish Government ministers who do not have a clue what they are doing as they have been promoted to their level of incompetence.
In my opinion the simple solution is to bring back the teaching of the three ‘R’s’ and to quote a retired Primary School headmaster who told me that the three R’s should be drummed into the pupils at primary school.
This is spot on. DCT appeals to narrow minded chauvanism and kitsch sentimentality in its publications, to a scotland that only ever existed in the tearooms of Broughty Ferry, the East Neuk and rural Perthshire/Angus. Not quite the shouty goose step of the Dail Mail but it's agenda is there all the same.
Chauvinism is a form of extreme patriotism and nationalism and a belief in national superiority and glory. It can be also defined as "an irrational belief in the superiority or dominance of one's own group or people". Sounds like the SNP more than DCT.
Funniest thread Iv read in ages.
Not as funny as the quickly diminishing number of auld right wing yoons at breakfast wearing their UJ pish stained boxers frothing at the mooth at the leader of a party that has won 6 in a row.
Thatchers deid and the empires long gone
Lol, won 6 in a row.....and it shows in the state of Scottish education, health, roads infrastructure, councils and anti male dogma
A couple of years and the chauvinist will be on the after dinner speaking circuit, cherry will be doing ads as the Churchill dug and swinney will be back in his cage with gimp mask on.
McKay will be declared hide and seek world champion for the 3rd year on the trot and wee ecks retrial will be staring.
Sail Bonney boat like a bird on a wing....
