On the evidence of having set of non-identical nieces I have to say I agree with the findings of this report. Independent - Nature trumps nurture in exam success: GCSE results are ‘mainly determined by genes,’ says landmark study of twins The study, based on 11,117 identical and non-identical twins, shows that a child's genes are a more important indicator of educational performance across all the core subjects - accounting for 52 per cent of the difference in scores in English, 55 per cent in maths and 58 per cent in science. |

Parents and Education? It would help if schools did the job they're supposed to do, this is just plain bureaucracy running rampant.... Hair today, gone tomorrow |

It would also help if snotty nosed School Managers didn't hide behind Victorian rules in the 21C. Welcome to sunny 21st Century Britain. Wrong people in the right places, right people in the wrong places. |

No thanks. I'd much prefer Martial Law being declared with myself as GOC UKLF. Can guarantee within 90 days that I will follow Typhoo as they put the T in Britain, I'll put the Great in it! |

You can't spell grate!!! What a sad reflection of those within the UK's local political parties, no wonder our educational system is up the creek without a paddle. |

That's clearly synthetic red. Don't forget all those Lib-dem turncoats! |

Some posters around here behave more like Butlins Redcoats :-) The only Redcoats I'm aware of are those from history.... ...you know, the ones the Yanks gave a good spanking to :) |

More bureaucratic B/S There's a better option: - How about licensing Snivel Serpents every three years. Those that do their job, get promoted/performance bonuses. Those that don't get points on their license. 3 points in three years = dismissal. Pretty sure that we would soon have a civil service that actually works without any bumbling fool coming up with lame-brained ideas. |

Thank you. Starter for 10...... Lame-brained idea = 1 point Use of un-necessary jargon = 1 point Taking a sickie then go skiing = 2 points Attempting to fix that which is not broken = 2 points Breaking a leg while skiing while on sickie = 3 points Misuse of Government Credit Cards = 3 points Reversing a sensible decision = 3 points Getting rid of targets = Performance bonus Standing up to fops = performance bonus Standing up to stupid Ministers/MP's = promotion Getting rid of league tables = Promotion |

OK that is enough. This thread is about education and a parents role in that, and relevant peripheral matters. It is NOT a vehicle for backdoor jibes at Civil Servants from people with their own agenda. If proven necessary I will ask for this thread to be closed. It is highly relevant! Getting teachers licensed? WTH did they do all that training for? Teachers are involved in education ARE THEY NOT? |
