  • As someone who pretty much was held back due to to my background I fully agree with this statement. I had no choice but to goto a failing school which is now closed, and feel that if I had the right support I might have achieved more than I had, even with a disability.

  • It's funny you even used the phrase "loony left". Clearly you don't really understand politics if you still think in terms of left and right.

  • Nick youve done more for social imobility then thatcher, sorry mate your a cunt. The student fee rise will put off smart poor and middle classes going off to uni, while the rich and the private school people it wont have any effect, on your a cunt your a liar and 9000 is not comprimise sticking at 3000 is a comprimise you dick. And the argument that the county can't afford it but a subset of the tax payers somehow can afford it plus intrest is just more proof your a cunt using false arguments.

  • Nick Clegg = cunt.

  • Is it just me or does Clegg look like a bobble head doll if you mute the sound?

  • Yes, and his government HAS ALREADY CUT SCHOOL BUDGETS!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, they passed it as cutting down on local authorities... that is they cut the funds local authorities passed on to schools!

    Yeas, the poorer children... Teaching assistants are being mede redundant! They are those who look after weaker children...

    TRAITOR!

  • For god sake Clegg is that you just realized?

  • oh and by the way, im dnt support a mainstream party, so i dnt believe that the solution to things are simply to bitch about our leaders. so do what ever good where you can. so if any students reading this, or parents trying to help with homework.. im am a university mathematics student, and i also do part time personal tuition.. so feel free to email me if you ever run into any problems

  • wells, its all very well going on about we need better education.. but the horrid facts are im afraid not liberal. people are only interested in learning if they understand it will better themselves. however most children are too young to understand this. therefore education must be forced on them until theyr mature to realise its the best for them. should be forced to stay in school, and disapline and deadlines should be strict. perha0s even the cain in extreame cases of misbehaviour
