I consider myself to have been very lucky to have gone to a grammar school, wherein I was taught HOW (not WHAT) to think, and not to accept anything blindly but to seek the reason why. Maybe that's why I am such an argumentatve bugger?

I don't think that this has anything to do with politics. It's just a bunch of kids expressing their outrage/fear about what they see as impending doom. I don't think it was aimed at any particular party.
A bit like our CND marches of the 70's. But read into it what you will.

that's exactly what my sister and I were told at our grammar schools. Although that principle isn't limited to grammar schools.

One of the many reasons I am anti EU is that an Economics teacher at school was so pro European that half the projects various year groups did in my seven year residency were about how shiny and great the EU was. It was vomit inducing enough to put me off for life.

Similarly another teacher, my housemaster, took it upon himself to ban The Life of Brian as he felt it utterly offensive. It is still my favourite Monty Python film, even if it isn't their best work...

Life of Brian should be made a mandatory watch for all.

So on one hand we moan about the yoof of today being glued to their phones and spending their days in bed, but when they do engage we moan that they are being brainwashed by their teacher/Universities/EU etc

Universities have always been denzions of leftwing encouragement. Fortunately most of the people who go to them are intelligent enough to see past the Marxist rhetoric and emerge as relatively normal people.

Culling the NUS would go someway to redressing the bias as it actively encourages lefty poncification.

I attended grammar school in the early seventies.

When not expelled for being disruptive and 'an instigator' I would spend most of my time sitting outside the headmaster's office waiting to be given the cane.

Ah....good times.

[Bigron]

Our headmaster wielded the cane at morning assembly - for extra humiliation!

My father was called into the grammar school I went to , he was informed that if there was trouble anywhere in the school it was guaranteed that I would be in the area.My headmasters parting words to me were "Master T you will never have anything to show for your life" Proved the old fart wrong ..😀

[BazaJT]

My school was so good you needed a judges recommendation to get in and said judge was kind enough to tell you how long you'd be there for

.    Yes mine too, and he had Nystagmus so missed quite a bit or caught you right on the end of the fingers, and then you would get blamed for moving your hand and had another crack added. He would be up for GBH if it were today!  Very painful for the more adventurous of us
