school

One teacher I had strongly supported the idea. Do you agree with him? What are the pros and cons?

Most places around the world tend to have private schools and also public schools. Private schools are usually the ones that the parents pay for their children to attend and public schools are the ones that are government funded and do not cost the parent any money to send them. Even though...

So something I have noticed they still do in schools is teach children about religion, now as much as I am not against religion being taught, what I am against is the teaching being done in a way that it pushes a child to believe in a religion. What are your thoughts on religion being taught...

Something I hear a lot about from people like my mum, grandma, and even friends of my mum and dad is how home economics and cooking classes were almost pretty much compulsory when they were in school and it was something all kids were taught in school. When I went to school, cooking classes...

So something I have noticed a lot with me still having two kids in school is how much the school now even uses the internet for teaching children. I always say to my kids when they have any kind of homework as well if they get given it, that they should look it up on Google and research the...

Detentions are something that is given to children when they misbehave in school, break the rules, or even if they are late for school. Detentions are usually given now at least in the UK at the end of the day and they are for an hour now. In some cases, detentions to work in preventing...

As much as I am all for children learning about politics and being made aware of politics, something I am against is when teachers try and push their preferences in terms of parties or political members in a bid to try and sway a child to support a party or person they do. I believe that...

So something my youngest who is 13 mentioned to me the other day was "Can we get paid to go to school?" and my answer was no as that is exactly the case, you can not get paid to go to school and it is the law to go to school. His question however did get me thinking, with so many kids that do...

Something I always remember very well when I was in school is how much homework I got each day. After spending all day at school, the one thing I wanted to do was be able to chill out at home and relax ready for the next day but I always found that I had homework to complete so that was never a...

Personally, I don't see the purpose of such. It's just an additional expense. People say it prepares them for the workplace and all that, but not all workplaces have uniforms. Why not just require a smart dress? I don't even see the purpose of workplace uniforms. It doesn't affect their work...
