Many thanks to David Cameron for taking the time to reply to this question, it is appreciated. Interacting with the general public in this way is to be commended.

It would be interesting to hear your views on Higher Education and its importance in the current financial climate.

[Documentally]

Thanks go to David Cameron.. Engaging people in this casual/personal manner shows an open approach to social media and a willingness to utilise new channels of communication with the general population. I am impressed.

Right so basically he has just stated what is allready going on and tried making it his own idea.....He didnt give any specific answers what so ever but just headlining terms like: dicipline, children should read and wright, etc.. No david, what are you acctually going to do without stating the obvious

[taylorandy3]

I just have 1 question if you win the election for how long will u blame the previous government for things u have and have not done

[10mjt29]

i agree with all you said. i am 61, and orthough i did not know it, when i was a teenager back in the 60's, i am afrade it was the likes of the beatles, the stones and other stars of the time, that started the lack of disapline, drugs, swearing all over the place that started the road to the decay that is all around us today

I agree on what Cameron says.. especially 'values and standards'. Just coming out of school 2 years ago, i agree on more discipline in the class rooms and independence of schools.

Exactly...trying to improve education standards for all will not work by trying to put square pegs in round holes. There is an innovativeness amongst people who teach that is not being tapped into.

Also impressed. Tuned into Documentally's live Qik stream the other day. The tools just keep getting better. Bravo!
