If only there was a political party who would demolish "Academies" and these "Studio Schools" and start to re-invest in our human capital - without students having to pay for it.

My small backwater had one school actually set up a nice counter and cash machine to the Plebs could learn to use them ready for the larger market and retailers like Tesco Asda. it failed and the kids refused to attend the school and parents agreed I know my daughter went to another school after the holidays. Labour Tories it's getting harder to tell the difference.

If I did this, I'd not only get a free workforce for the mill but I'd not even have to find any money for feeding the little buggers! Finally someone in the UK has had the gumption to set this country back on the road to competing with India. I can see a great revival of British industry and British textiles going forward. What a damn good idea!

Both my step sons go to these schools there, one to learn Motor Mechanics and the other Agriculture. The difference in France is they are run by the education service though and you have to really fight to get your child in, It's more akin to an apprenticeship and the kids usually go on to take up apprenticeships straight from school in their chosen field. Unlike the UK it is likely that there will be jobs for them to go to at the end of it. In general it is the kids who are not academic or have behavioural problems who go to these schools My two lads were reformed characters once they got in.
