@redrumlisa I’m a council estate kid. Many parents are ruddy useless and anti education, and arrogant with it. The best white working class mums and dads encourage their child’s education and support teachers rather than rage against any perceived slight of their kids.
@Adrian_Hilton Teaching critical thinking skills is better than an excessive focus on top grades, which puts huge stress on youngsters, especially when some parents see high grades as a badge of their own prowess.Many brilliant students mess up crucial exams for various reasons
@sharrond62 This blanket demonising of the great BBC’s amazing array of programmes and services is really upsetting and a cheap shot. I applaud you on trans/women’s issues but not this slide into the usual right wing attack of a great British institution, which many feel is too right wing!
@AndrewHammel1 To be fair, there’s an awful lot of mediocre white people in academia too, and probably way more in the private sector, who get promoted above the brightest and best because they went to the same school/ private education/ football - rugby team etc etc .
@DuncanMcDowall@sharrond62 Omg, what a nasty point of view, completely gaslighting the vast majority of rape and assault and abuse victims by playing the victim card
@sharrond62 It’s not just on a single Labour gvnmt to sort out male violence. How can they possibly?! It has to be multi agency but mostly men themselves, standing up for women
