RUMBLINGS FROM EDUCATION. UK.Inc Ministry
Thousands of reports and research papers have finally been noted and a basic pattern has emerged. Since education became a Culture Industry the education has worked very very well indeed.
Critical awareness, poetry, history, philosophy and all that have finally been shelved as a Classical Relic.
Training, training and more training has been the result.
This was the target and bullseye. Success.
Management training psycho-babble has won the culture wars.

Today the Ny Labor management group, with Blair and Brown, Thatcher and the underlings, get ready to dance their dance and celebrate.
But it is hard to dance with the devil on your back.

Another inappropriate post.
We wonder what the outcomes have been from your style of elitist bigited philosophy.
Could you tell us?

Indeed Anonymoose I can tell you.
At our weekly meetings of a Friday, where we tend to discuss things, we end up at the pub.
Before Saturday morning is too old we spew out the likes of you and yours on the already filthy pavements of the plastic-bubbled-places that only you want.
Outcome = We spew out you before having a decent breakfast.

Zola would like to say that his comments above were in a fit of rage and quite unbecoming of an Award Winner from the Blogufear.

Is that from a song?
If it's not, it should be.
Royalties to a charity of your choice.

Sounds like civil rights movement songs to me mixed with theological spirit and song blasts.

Or, as George Bush sang : " I am the Lord of the Dance said me".
Check Lord of the Dance and ... when that is... or that is not the way you wanna be... that's alrat in this year.

Just a old fashioned jam based on facts of the case opened.

Check the Highlander.
Highlander.
Myles Horten was ok.

"Critical awareness, poetry, history, philosophy and all that have finally been shelved as a Classical Relic."

Why are you surprised, Zola? With the collapse since the 1960s of traditional standards of learning and culture, and the infestation of academia with the pseudo-intellectualism of postmodernism, deconstructionism, and all the rest of the incomprehensible and largely meaningless twaddle comprising the late 20th century trahison des clercs, few people of the present ruling generation any longer know what education is.

You should read Richard J. Evans' "In Defence of History". And occasionally post a serious comment in my Arena as a change from your endlessly flippant ones.

Otherwise the Beadle will be after you. You have been warned!
