  1. IF it's overcompetitive and high pressure and not given to understanding (a just LEARN IT thing) that happens more.. Kids are naturally inquisitive till we bore it out of them. There's plenty out there to distract them also. Sitting still at a desk is not that natural for active young People and often the circumstances at home are not conducive to doing extra work. IF they are not kept occupied they do tend to muck up and disturb the rest.  Nev

  2. I have grandkids too so I'm going though this with them. in some detail. My point is there are ways to catch up available though in some areas that may not be so obvious. Adult entry to Universities is an example which has always had pretty successful outcomes due to the better motivation./ My wife was until recently  involved with education of kids with disabilities and I know plenty of teachers who do extra coaching /learning sessions.. Once a chalky always a chalky. That's probably  why I like instructing...  Nev

  3. Paris is not even nice to People from the PAYS (Paysants) Bit like Sydney or the bush.. IF they think you are English of course they will ignore you. I wonder how a Frenchman wandering around London speaking French would get on. No I don't have to wonder. I know.  Nigel Farage still carries on like a pork chop whenever he speaks of them. Nev

  4. I'm an ex secondary school chalky and I don't accept the extreme view there. The pick up process is known as "remedial" and properly administered can be very effective. Victoria examined this and found the adverse effects were much  less than first feared. IF you're really concerned the money available to and staffing of state schools should be looked at as  more and more Parents are being asked to find more money for their kids activities. and the private schools  are far better off with their facilities. Universities target overseas students and don't pay their staff enough or give them secure tenure and a few other issues with sponsorship that question their Independence. Nev

  5. Forceable rejoining is imposition of a lifestyle the inhabitants see as unacceptable having had much better for a long time now. If Chine has such a good "THING" going there would already be many going freely back and forth.. They've also seen what happened to Hong Kong's people, but the real issue is Taiwans microprocessor production and some minerals. .  Nev
