Education matters

Once again the Committee For Extracting Cash From Residents has found another way to fine people for doing their best. Parents will be fined for taking their kids out of school during term time

I've had recent experience of Sheffield Education snoopers wanting to know why my kids aren't at school.

It was because they have no resistance to the filthy conditions in the schools and are always sick.

In this country there is a legal requirement to go to school but there is no legal requirement to learn anything.

If we could fine people for being thick the country's coffers would be full and our education chiefs would be poor.

Frankly, the education system is so weak and unchallenging that some kids could be off school half the year and they wouldn't be any worse off.
