It Is That Bad

Apart from any other considerations, my main problem with reforming the exam system is that it doesn't address the basic problem with Big Education - it's knee-deep in moonbats. Even for a natural pessimist like moi Natalie Solent's post on what's happened to physics teaching in schools was depressing. Plus, I think she's right about the class bias inherent in this kind of touchy-feely garbage as well: the larvae of the chattering classes can max out on the babbling sections while Joe Sixpack from the Winston Silcott Council Estate is SOL if he has to break off from actual physics to deal with this kind of faux-dinner party questionerring. Draw your own conclusions from the fact that this kind of blatant pandering to the strengths of the spoilt brat demographic is occuring under a government of the soi dissant people's party.
