“An ugly display, from the rat,
Who went away, to another shed;
Hopefully, you’ll do just that…
See you ‘round, in another thread.”
As the sign-off on Frazier goes -
“The rat is leaving the building.”
Bye, bye tubley, threats and bullying might work in your classroom (where you have the height advantage) but they will never work here.
Maybe he is in the wrong media, television might suit better – I think teal should be the colour and a big hook in the head of the suit for “telly-tubley”
Philb I guess politics does not have the same requirements of form as being a runway model does, but then, it could work as the second career the age of each do not overlap.
RE Maximus reservations to the politically unbiased delivery of education
Quote -
Former Victorian education minister Joan Kirner once argued that the work of schools had to be radically redefined. Instead of education being impartial, she said, it had to become "part of the socialist struggle for equality, participation and social change, rather than an instrument of the capitalist system".
The AEU told classroom teachers to tell students that the US-led war was illegal, that allied troops should be immediately withdrawn and to "support students who take an anti-war stance".
More recent evidence of the AEU's left-wing bias is evident in President Pat Byrne's prepared remarks at the 2005 Queensland Teachers' Union biennial conference on June 21.
Based on the works of Marxist intellectuals such as Antonio Gramsci and Pierre Bourdieu, the union also argues that the education system, instead of providing a ladder of opportunity, is instrumental in marginalising disadvantaged groups.

Oh Shonga - politics is part of life - but not "LIFE" itself developing and growing as an individual is what life is about.
