Pay me now, or pay me later

Talk about a radical proposal... this man wants children to be able to read and write, instead of simply rubber-stamping their report cards and foisting them on an unsuspecting society...
Failing students should repeat the last year of primary school, Tory leader David Cameron has proposed.

He said the move could form part of a "genuine schools revolution" improving literacy, numeracy and discipline.

Mr Cameron's proposals suggest the worst performers in year six will have to either catch up at summer classes or repeat the entire academic year.
It seems though, the lunatic left isn't gonna go down without a fight.
But Jean Milham, head teacher of Morningside Primary School in Hackney, east London, told BBC Radio Five Live that the idea would mean children were branded as failures.

"So what are we going to do? Keep young children in a primary school for the rest of their school life?"
Hey Jean... if it doesn't matter what the little darlings can actually accomplish, why not just skip schooling altogether?

Or better yet, stream them right into teachers college.

Because marks don't matter... right?
