    Apparently one of the plays that kids have to study now has over 200 hundred swear words in it.
    When the parents complained they were given the brush off.
    If that is the standard of education now a days what do we expect?

    Like you have an enigma for real, them tings aint gonna work much after all this time and must be worth a mint now, add your address, know some brothers that could lose it for you and give 50 / 50 on the insurance recovery money.

    Know this morning was French fish day and US FOOLS, suppose in the US. You sound desperate: Tried Russian Roulette yet ?

    IF I HEAR NO MORE, gather the deals off ?

    #28 Rob, I only have one grandchild at school P2 [6yrs]. I discussed this issue with my daughter the last time this subject was aired on site. She was assured by the teacher that this was not condoned by Alexander's school, and that he will be at least 10yrs before sex education will be broached and only when a letter from parents is signed allowing it. This was the same for my youngest when she was 10yrs also, and again with opt out option at that school, granted a different school but still Scotland.

    Sadly in Hampshire the trendy liberals run these things , some of the School Subjects to my mind are borderline lunacy . They do role play dramas that make me cringe and I am no prude
