Parents could be proscuted & fined fr non attendance

[Lilith7]

I remember being so at my wits end with a fourteen year old daughter who was refusing to go to school that I called the police on her. The young constable walked into her room and told her to get up, get dressed and go to school and she fixed him with a very direct look, and said quietly and calmly, 'fuck off, I am never going back to that place...'

And he did, with an apologetic grin to me and a 'good luck'  as he left.

David Seymour needs to fuck off and have a teenager.  They teach us grown ups a lot.

Oh, that they do - three teenage boys were a sort university....


I think one of the highlights was coming home one day to find the eldest had brought his motorbike (Triumph 1968) into his bedroom, ready to take it apart.

Although once I mentioned how good it would look painted pink, with one or two tasteful purple pansies on it, it went outside again fairly quickly...

People who have never had children should not be allowed by law to hold any positions of power in the community or politics, my Mum believed that all her life.

I think I'm inclined to agree with your Mum, clearly a wise woman...

Uneducated fodder for the shit jobs.or the unemployment  ..........you all complain about rimmer but whats your solution to the problem

if you don’t know who rimmer is google red dwarf

I suspect its safe to say we're all familiar with Rimmer...


But, in the future we're told that all those shit jobs will be done by robots.

 There may even come a time,far in the distant future when humans don't have to work at mundane jobs & instead can for example, continue lifelong education in whatever interests them.

Assuming we haven't managed to destroy the entire planet by then.
