fer me hyndburn i assume had/has good/bad teachers just the same as most small towns,

Yes hyndburn and the likes are different.. would'nt class accrington as a depraved area but then again not a rich area.. but certianly in london there are areas that are totally different as far as housing and education are concered.. there is a basic wage structure in London for teachers.. now I say that if a good teacher can get the same wages as a bad one.. then he/she will apply for a job in say..Hampstead rather than Brixton.. so it's got to the point were the better teachers end up in the "better" bouroughs..and there's no doubt to me that if you are not in the right place then your kids will not get the best.

I'm still asking if any schools in Hyndburn are having disciplinary problems as depicted in the media ? I don't think so.

There is a unit which was the old tech (Cashy) where they send the expelled/troublesome pupils and works very well ... my daughter taught there for a while.

Those are the very people able to make real comparissons, because they experienced the education system in the past, and their children/grandchildren are experiencing it now.

Basic common sense.

Did they teach you nothing in school?

Obviously he's never been to the parts of Cornwall that the Public School kids descend on en masse in July.

Children of all social backgrounds have less respect, and care more about themselves, than the wider society at large, than they did thirty/forty years ago.

That's a fact, and if you can't see it then sadly education has failed you.
