Yeah. Fancy taking to social media to air viewsThis thread epitomises why people are leaving the board, some people just have too much to say.

why do you get to decide who should speak and how often?This thread epitomises why people are leaving the board, some people just have too much to say.
Gary Numan for Transport Secretary?
You sure?One thing they all have in common is they won't say a jot of criticism about Qatar.
I don't hold formal education in low regard but I don't have a particularly high regard for much of formal education in the UK. Teachers may have little influence on national curricula but they do plan them elsewhere. The reformulation of Bloom's taxonomy is relevant as it places more emphasis on the importance of 'creating'. I broadly share these views 'What's wrong with Bloom's taxonomy' but I'll leave them in a link as it's of limited relevance to the rest of the thread.teachers don't plan curricula in a national certification, the version of blooms is irrelevant to the point oo.
Nobody is arguing that it would be impossible to have the ability to solve at Blooms higher levels without formal education. But it is less likely as Blooms will arm you with the necessary toolkit to address issues that work at the higher level.
What you appear to be arguing it that formal education isn't necessary and you could pick someone out of a rainforest and they would be born with the intellectual skills necessary to solve the most complex of problems. That they could comprehend the challenges in brexit and ask the right questions to break the through the lack of expert knowledge in that field.
Personally, I have far too much respect for experts, I believe we stand on the shoulder of giants, the growth of civilisation bask this up as our understanding and technological advances increased as we learned to read and write to share knowledge. That includes methods and approaches to problem solving.
I find it amazing that you have so little regard for formal education
Lets just say 'right wing', not extreme or racist.depends if they are doing it to treat other people as lessor than them, say by being racist as an example. Are you saying that people should be able to be racist without challenge as that is their personal view and they have freedom of speech?
Well that's a nice way to side step the notion that education isn't important, without admitting that education actually is important.I don't hold formal education in low regard but I don't have a particularly high regard for much of formal education in the UK.

I noticed Jamie Redknapp was at it at the weekend too trying to skirt around the Saudi/Newcastle issue, claiming fans don't really care who owns clubs and that somehow the PL wouldn't exist if we looked into the business dealings of owners. Only wanted to talk about all this supposed investment that's going to be pumped into Newcastle and this is all that should matter.I don't mind footballers, ex-footballers/broadcasters etc using their platform to comment on politics, they live in society, they pay their taxes, as long as their employer is ok with it I don't have an issue.
But Jenas was on the radio being interviewed about racism in football. He spoke relatively eloquently on the subject matter without being controversial or identifying any solutions.
Interviewer then asked him about the Saudi takeover of newcastle and he spoke positively about the money, signings etc.
Interviewer then asked him about the regime, Khashoggi & sport washing and he said it was an unfair question and he shouldn't be asked about that.
To me, if you hold yourself up as a commentator on social and societal issues you shouldn't dodge questions just because you are worried about not being invited back to do the hospitality.

Education is extremely important but doesn't need to be formal. Your straw man guitar argument suggests you've either failed to read or failed to understand the linked article.Well that's a nice way to side step the notion that education isn't important, without admitting that education actually is important.
teachers don't plan the national curriculum, and in other formal bodies it isn't the teachers that create the learning objectives either.
Creating is great, but it requires an understanding of foundational concepts. Your claiming anyone without a fundamental understanding of music, can just pick up a Gibson 335 and randomly pluck and create a jazz masterpiece....you've 'created' something, but it's crap because you have no formal understanding of musical structure. I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how blooms works, you don't go straight in at the top
I haven't read the article because I'm not claiming that Blooms is perfect. My jazz example is how you cannot get to the create stage without getting your foundation and the normal route to that is through formal education.Education is extremely important but doesn't need to be formal.

Utter boIIocks, you could just read the side of a bus..................................you can't truly analyse and understand the decision around brexit without at least some knowledge of economics, business, or trade.
I could never get my head 'round the "Champagne Socialist" thing, if anything, it shows those up who use the term more than the people it's aimed at.As soon as they post anything criticizing the government they get the usual "stick to football" line from the offended right wingers. As if they have no right to an opinion on politics, but your average Sun/Daily Mail reader is entitled to knock educated sports personalities. I wonder why this is?, same with film/tv people, as soon as they voice a vaguely left wing opinion they're labled 'left wing luvies'. So media folk in prominent positions can't alert people to how badly the country is being run and call the Tories out on it?
And then there's the 'pièce de résistance'- the Champagne Socialist line. So, someone who's done well in life, made a few quid can't be concerened about social issues, helping others and is met with "why don't you give all your money away and house 10 Afghan refugees".
Funny what the right wing media has done to some people in this country. At least the right wingers still have Jim Davidson for a balanced opinion. Oh, and Laura Kuenssberg..

It gives the impression they think that if you are ok in life, it's wrong to care about those who aren't.
It screams selfish.
