quote: ORIGINAL: SL4V3M4YB3 Whatever happened to the 'top up' in top up fees? That was the thin edge of the wedge I tells ya. Eventually the government waiter wass tilting the wine bottle of further education but the wine of knowledge wass no longer flowing. There's been more and more to top up every time the last two governments cut university funding (that is: every budget). It's one of those incremental things that starts off slow but accelerates very quickly.

I'm not really loosing much sleep about the humanities being underfunded in comparison to science and technology based subjects. Although students of artistic hand movements are up in arms about it. Then again I suppose that's looking at the University experience in a rather two dimensional way i.e. that it has to be about helping the person find a job rather than just furthering the student's and the University's knowledge.

I think the fact that mathematics and science a levels have proved less difficult to fiddle to improve the results is a factor as well: there's less demand for science degrees than for humanities ones. This isn't really the best way to go about fixing the shortfall in science students, though.

When I was younger, no lie, I wanted to be a train driver. Whenever we got the train we were going to the beach, unknowingly I was under the impression that train drivers spent the day at the beach. I didn't realise I'd be getting on those metal worms of death in the other direction towards the city every day. Oh no. I don't know what happened I could have been a train driver how hard can it be... Press a button go....press a button stop... It's not like you can get lost or need Satnav, and these days I wouldn't even have to talk to the passengers either because I could press another button to give them an automated message.

And that made no sense at all once you'd edited your own post, you rotter. [:D]

SL4V3M4YB3 -> RE: London Protests Turn Violent With Parliament Under Siege Protesters are now fighting with polic (12/12/2010 3:45:52 PM)
[:D] Sorry about that but I thought I might start to analyse where it all went wrong.

Moonhead -> RE: London Protests Turn Violent With Parliament Under Siege Protesters are now fighting with polic (12/12/2010 3:52:34 PM)
Fair enough.

Filtering thru the insults makes it hard to find the point- that the poster makes. (if any) Some of us tho- have class, and we do not throw around personal insults at other posters. ..it goes with self respect.

Well, what was your point with the Crown then? I was only doing guesswork... Could you enlighten me what you meant with it?

If you say the Crown people will assume you are talking about the state prosecution services, makes no sense when it comes to education or university fees.

The Crown tho has another meaning. City of London, DC, Rome.
