Education is not for the poor

[ClarksonsinUSA]

Education, WITH OUT MOTIVATION ..

Is pointless...

[fargonbastedge]

"education" will just lead to massive debt and a population thinking that there to good for a normal job. I don't believe in the "there's only dumb people because there not educated theory".

[furrysega7]

education:43

practice:20



[tubesurfer007]

If you can afford it. lol

[LibertarianUK]

Labour started to destroy education in the 1960s when it kept pushing to destroy the meritocratic system of education in favour of the marxist inspired Comprehensives. That is partly why more poor children are trapped in sync estates and failing because they arent GETTING THE GRADES and stuck with a system where how much you can pay (private,catchment) rather than ability

I suggest people look up Anthony Crosland this is partly who the blame for destroying education lies with.

[Animosity2UandU]

It is amazing how much the UK and the US are alike! The great multinational corporations have created a world that suits them on both sides of the Atlantic and just like in America instead of blaming the rich and powerful - you blame women, ethnic minorities, Martians, whatever! Wake up -- do you really think that the fact that this is happening in every Western capitalist society is purely incidental! Stand up and fight the corporate powers that would enslave us all - not each other!

[parlezuml]

How many successive governments have promised to transform our education systems. Conservative and "progressive", it doesn't seem to make any difference. The reality is that politicians will serve the interests of themselves, then their friends, then their benefactors. The people come last. If at all.

[TheStranglehold]

Politicians talk about "education" all of the time. The problem is not their willingness to educate, it's what they want to educate people to do.

Get a useless degree, get into debt, don't finish high enough in your class, or maybe your field is being outsourced (Engineers, looking at you) and you're up Shit's Creek sans paddle.

[toxic2k7]

in my school, it wasnt very good and the teachers would do anything to get us to fuck off and leave them alone lol like we would go into class waiting for shit to do and they would say ''read the book' and we say yeah and what part are we learning, they reply ''whatever, all of it, just get on with it'' and they would go on internet or play on their mobiles lol and the class would just mess about and go on phones too.

[sovietninja3]

@toxic2k7 did you ever actually read the book?

[toxic2k7]

@sovietninja3 well yeah we read whatever part we were studying about. but tbh i dont think the teacher gave a shit as to wether we learnt it or not. they didnt actually 'Teach'. they just sat there and did whatever, while the class was taught by a book. i could have done that at home, so the british education system is shit for poorer people

[sovietninja3]

@toxic2k7 you can learn on your own. if you arent educated you cant blame it completely on your teachers

[Animosity2UandU]

@sovietninja3 You can also give yourself a degree and see how many jobs that will get you - ha!

[MegaMailbox]

let me think on this .we have a lot of hard working god fearing educated people ,but what we dont have is civil responsibility ,civil responsibility is the highest form of intelligence ,how do i know this people voted for mccain and Obama .when we all know Ralph nader or Ron Paul equal change .

[tri2ges]

if that guy says education one more time i'm going to punch him in the face. 

[ignition555555]

Education, education, education. Hooooly annoying video. Education, education, education.

[ajgolfer1]

Everything the government runs turns to shit, there is no such thing as equality of outcome because everyone in inherently different..

[hotfudgemoney]

I don't need Barack Obama giving future generations education on "social justice"

[hotfudgemoney]

Information and education have been free since the opening of the first public library.

[Mozzofull]

The richer get richer and the poorer get poorer!! wish the uk would concentrate on their own country and leave the outside world to fend for itself! im pretty much pissed off with this country the uk! prioritys are all wrong..fuck em!

[AppleSouffle]

You wouldn't like it; they just lie there.

[Mozzofull]

its my opinion

[Mozzofull]

and fuck the thumbs down ive been given!!!!!!! i got better things to think about!!!!!

[theone97301]

You have the same problems as us in little Britain. Except we have an even larger inequality rate. So glad my parents raised me in the public library or I would be fucked.

[CorruptCourts]

utube

'child stealing by the state'

Brian Gerrish common purpose

what they are keeping secret in the UK

[jhab1985]

Its all manipulation, manipulation, manipulation.

Sticktofacts: explain Obama he is a puppet watch THE OBAMA DECEPTION!

Say NO! to the new world order

[theone97301]

The Obama Deception is littered with lies that is why even the Wall Street Journal (owned by Murdock) disgraced it.

[jhab1985]

@theone97301

Its all jibba jabba bollocks find the pearls my friend. That what Im looking for.

[whoiszizou]

im from a poor background and I am finding it extremely difficult to enter higher education, its seem as though its not built for people from poorer backgrounds

[Sticktofacts]

@whoiszizou

Thats such Crap, explain Obama., Colin Powell Etc. Another EXCUSE form the poor

IS NOT ABOUT FUNDING. WE HAD ONE ROOM SCHOOL HOUSES AND PUT A MAN ON THE MOON !!!!

The Dem's dumbed down city schools so much theses kids will always be behind. I'm over 50. I cant imagine how much smarter i would be with a computer to STUDY.with.

You really don't even need a school because of a P.C. in the home used properly.

Explain Home schooling success No FUNDING.

[theone97301]

You're right it was the one room school houses that taught people about aerodynamics and entering space.. No you idiot it was colleges and universities. P.C. are great but how many inner city schools have them?

[jhab1985]

@Sticktofacts The rich are as poor as the poor. Central banking sux balls it doesnt take a genuis to figer that one out.

central bank

n

(Economics, Accounting & Finance / Banking & Finance) a national bank that does business mainly with a government and with other banks: it regulates the volume and cost of credit.

[jhab1985]

@Sticktofacts Bank for International Settlements (BIS)

An international bank headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, which serves as a forum for monetary cooperation among several European central banks, the Bank of Japan, and the US Federal Reserve System. Founded in 1930 to handle the German payment of World War I reparations, it now monitors and collects data on international banking activity and promulgates rules concerning international bank regulation.

[jhab1985]

@Sticktofacts central bank

n.

A nation's principal monetary authority, such as the Federal Reserve Bank, which regulates the money supply and credit, issues currency, and manages the rate of exchange.

The rich and the and the middle class are all in the same boat of CREDIT great isnt yay lets all be happy :)

[theone97301]

Exactly unless you're part of the talented 5 percent. Meaning that if you're poor you have to spring with a leg weight while the rich can walk leasurly toward higher education.

[ronaldinhoca]

blairs educaion repetation is annying but overall is good.

[kisa96]

The other factor is the amount of funding it gives to schools, colleges, universities, now they cutting back and rather use it to bail out banks.

[kajlababa]

Education Education. That is how Hindus in India deprived the Untouchables of their education for the last 3000 years.

[loftysbridge]

the truth is, if you are white, male, able-bodied, middle class and you're being taught by a white, male, able-bodied, middle class system, then you are going to do well out of it.

if you're not, then you are screwed

[madcatzy]

Very true! very true indeed

[fionndan]

@loftysbridge In Scotland, the 2008-2009 figures reveal that 68% of undergraduate entrants were female. The picture is probably very similar across the UK and Ireland.

[mrfrankincense]

@loftysbridge How does that explain all of the white, male, able-bodied, middle class who are unemployed and doing rather badly. The system is not designed for them; it's designed for female, middle classed people. Sure enough the most prosperous positions are held by men but most men don't occupy those and women occupy almost all of the well off jobs.

[reg12269]

@loftysbridge hmmm, if ur black middle class, male or female, able-bodied familiar with the middle class system, u 2 will do fine. how do u educated barack and michele obama? ur argument is so passe. i'm blak from a foreign country on west africa and i kicked ass from 5th grade thru now. my parents werent rich or middle class but like with most immigrant far easterners made it clear they wanted me to adopt those values. prob with many non-whites is they fight, blame +resist everything.

[reg12269]

@loftysbridge pt2.. they and you expect systems and institutions to spend all their time adapting to you rather than u accepting the system and adopting to it. i believe in non-multicultural diversity. if u go to school from a multicultural non-white perspective, ur going to suck or pick a largely useless major like african studies. what fortune 500 company really needs that? noone is ever honest with most non-whites, feminists and radical liberals as to how things really work due to fear!

[edocumentary]

i think that the real problem is educations inability to adapt.

the universities are consistently trying to adapt the poor to them, blaming attainment and therefore taking no real responsibility for the lack of equality.

what should really be happening is that universities should be adapting and changing the way that they teach, so that it can be of benefit to more people.

this wont happen because the people who succeed in the current system end up running it and want to keep it the same

[loftysbridge]

why would you want to change something that help keeps society the way it is!!!

i think that it is incredible how conservative the university system really is, given that it's supposed to have the best and most liberal thinkers.

[wjdwormr]

what a sarcasm... while majority of politicians are emphasizing the importance of education, yet the reality is too turbulent to achieve one's dream. Shame on education !!!

[loftysbridge]

i agree, i think that the whole education system needs a complete rethink

[loftysbridge]

it just annoys me that the education system in our country is doing the same thing that it always has, it doesnt seem to care about 'really' opening up opportunities to people

[madcatzy]

Let the masses be dumb as f...k and you can govern them as sheep

[loftysbridge]

and also, if we give the same opportunity and resources to everyone, who is going to do the low paid jobs!

no wonder so many working class people completely reject the education system-- it pretends to be helping, but really it is deliberately rejecting them

[whoiszizou]

i completely agree with you im finding it so hard to enter HE
