Re: Solution to childhood obesity (teensy bit controversial)
I work in a school. I see forst hand just what has happened to the education system in the 8 years since I left compulsory education.
Remember writing lines in front of the headmaster's office? CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. Instead the kids are sent to what in my school is called the "Refocus Room" (recently renamed from "Withdrawl Room" as it wasn't Hippy enough) to "realign their attention and direction towards learning". What this means is they play flash games on the internet while the supervising member of staff talks on their mobile phone to their husband or wife.
Shouting at kids in class? NO, SORRY! NO SHOUTING. We have a card system like a f*cking football referee. "Are you refusing to follow my instructions? Yellow card!"
Makes me want to... Well... I'm on a school PC so let's just leave that there.
