School at 19 thats crazy, there is no such thing as failing a grade here. Your a second year university student by that time here. We don't have those manuals here, the only time the teacher has written answers is for marking exams as of course certain things cannot and can be accepted so everyone in the country is marked under the same guidelines, otherwise some students may be marked harshly and others marked loosely.

Also whats a teachers manual? Here if a place is open, zoo, museum, gallery etc anyone can go in, not just large parties, it's odd that they only let certain people in.

Sweet and sour chicken balls are the best thing to ever exist.

Pippa wears a bikini when we go swimming, otherwise having her nappy changed is horrible for her as we have to take the whole thing off.

Unless chicken is free range, bite for bite it contains as much fat as a mcdonalds beef burger. Restaurants that serve chicken are allowed to lower the calorie content by using free range chicken contents even when chicken is not free range, so they can suggest that the chicken disk is lower in calories, when it is infact not.

Why I Don't Believe in Early Childhood Education - Blog Entry

In the UK the first few years aren't structured at all, from the age of 7 there is more sit down and write, but not for very long per day most of the education is still making things and learning about different cultures and playing. By this time they do do the main aspects of maths, plus, minus, divide, multiply, english in answering questions from comprehension and reading school books, science is still growing plants and how many planets there are, things like that. You learn lots of history too, by doing things like dressing up as egyptians, making victorian houses out of cereal boxes and learning how they live, normally using gruesome stories. You do get some homework, but it is to practice your reading, or if you are struggling to spell a word, practice that. It's more what you should be doing at home with your parents anyway, than sit down for an hour and work your backside off.

Here schooling doesn't become serious until secondary school when you are 12, but then it is serious as in, your not a child anymore, you do as your told. But the educational part doesn't become major until you are 13.
