Videogames Education

A violent distraction or valuable resource? — The older you get the more you understand how the world truly works. Passing blame from group to group until you end up with immigration. The original scapegoat and such a terrible shame for the fact that we always seem to go back there. To find those from out of…

Children are Expensive

Our greatest asset is also our greatest cost — Imagine it now. Walking into a store and purchasing a child. Walking through aisle upon aisle of domesticated children with a price tag next to them. The problems they will face in life and what they will turn into are listed in alphabetical order. Imagine that...and that is all you…

When Age Catches Up

I am now the proud owner of hairy ears — That is correct and you did not misread...I have hairy ears. It is a concern and one that is occurring more often…just today I found a 2cm hair sticking out. The question now struck me…how long has that been there? It was very fine hair but still if I noticed…

The Updated Picture

An educational canvas — We see a picture and wonder. Why has it been painted? Why have I purchased it? Will it fit into my home once purchased? We worry as we cannot tell until the picture has been hung on the wall. This is when we can stand back and consider if what…

Do Politicians Care?

Or is it the money? — I would like to think that deep down many of them get into the profession to make a difference. They do not get into politics for an easy life. Politicians do not wake up each day to consider how much porn they will watch at work, or how much money…

Do Politicians Care?

Or is it the money?

I would like to think that deep down many of them get into the profession to make a difference. They do not get into politics for an easy life.

Politicians do not wake up each day to consider how much porn they will watch at work, or how much money…

Writing a Book

Go ahead, write a book — Put your thoughts down on the page and create a narrative. Not that easy is it? From the characters, individual setting points to the consistency conundrum. It is a challenge, and you have to admire those that make a living from this process. You will never make everyone happy and…

Children Have it Easy

Are our parents right in saying so? — Our parents and their parents constantly tell us how easy we have it. Back in their day, there was no internet, and in many cases, there were no calculators or even electricity and this shines through in society. With this in mind, many believe that children have it easy. More…

You do not need a Dog

Therapy pets can be anything from a snail to a cat — There are an estimated nine million dogs living in the United Kingdom. They are the most popular animal here, yet in other countries, they are considered a ‘pest’. We should know as on our travels to Asia, we witnessed countless dogs wandering the streets. It all comes down to perception…

Poverty in the Classroom is no Joke

Behaviour cannot be swept under the carpet — Amy Shelley (My wife) has experienced the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to behaviour. The worst of which was from an eight-year-old child who yelled at her, swore and grabbed his crotch…shocking behaviour that was draining for all those around. The behaviour grew increasingly erratic and…

A Long Welcome Back

Picking up where I left off… — I’m back. Okay, if truth be told then I have been back for a few weeks now but after a long holiday, it takes a while to settle back into the routine. To go from relaxing and seeing as much as possible to the hustle and bustle of life once…
