Did the UK really remove teaching of the Holocaust from the school curriculum
Did the UK really remove teaching of the Holocaust from the school curriculum?
I recently recieved an email telling me that the UK had stopped teaching about the Holocaust in its schools. The email said it was in an effort to apease muslims who don't believe the holocaust ever happened. I have trouble believing this is true, is it?

its not true in mainstream schools , but there are muslim schools and who knows what goes on there although its probably just a matter of time before they do ban it in mainstream schools if anything offends a muslim we gotta stop doing it its ok for them to go about in there traditional clothes , but watch out if you want to wear a cross or other christian symbol , i am not religious myself but theres gotta be a balance in life at the moment its all one sided , the immigrants side all the best Ian

School rebuilding program in the UK, stopped by government cuts.
School rebuilding program in the UK, stopped by government cuts.?
Watching BBC news last night here in the West Midlands i think the government should reconsider their rebuilding program of replacing school buildings many way past their sell-by date. Ok you have to draw a line somewhere on government spending cuts but schools, Hospitals are vital to the future of this country. Your thoughts please.

I totally disagree. Whilst some schools do need to be updated, others are needlessly being given millions to rebuild 40 year old schools, or to move buildings to make them all on one site. Surely a lot of this can wait a few years? In my area, Labour made a pledge to update or re-build EVERY school. One is only 20-30 years old, and doesn't need the re-build it's been promised and could easily wait another five or so years before carrying out any building work. Another is the school I attended myself until 4 years ago, it's over 100 years old but has had a lot of money spent on it over the last few decades, and is a perfectly acceptable condition. Despite this, it's being given millions of pounds, to move the sports building from a two minute walk up the road onto the main site. Students have been capable of walking there and back for the last 40 years, I don't see why they can't do so for a few more. Schools that are seriously in need of work will get the money they need, no-one's proposing that they are left to fall apart. But there are plenty of schools that don't desperately need the money - and it's not like schools with hundreds or even a thousand pupils are not capable of raising the money to fix minor things like replacing windows, or a roof. I don't see why schools that are taking money for re-builds or updates they don't desperately need should be allowed to keep those millions and millions of pounds, whilst everyone else is being asked to focus only on what is essential. What makes them so special that they can waste money that, let's be honest, we just don't have?

Pupils spend 190 days a year at school.No they do not need new schools just because it may need new windows.Let us look first at the conditions pupils live in at home.Most of these new schools are in so called deprived areas.Deal with the deprived areas first.Old folks homes are being closed down forcing pensioners to sell their homes[which they intended to give to their children] and go into private nursing homes.All this is a big ego boost for teachers to say that they work in a new school and it is not on.Why don't teachers give up a couple of their weeks massive holidays and set about painting the classrooms?

If you've entered the UK on a student visa but quit going to school what will happen
If you've entered the UK on a student visa but quit going to school what will happen?
The university I am attended turned out to be really bad, but I would still like to stay in the UK and travel till around June. Will I be forced to leave since I've dropped out of school? havent left yet, but was just thinking about it. also what if I was to leave the country on holiday and return to gather my belongings and stay here just for a month. Would I be violating the Visa regulations.

There are very strict new rules for Universities regarding students on student visas and the University as I understand the rules must report you to the Home Office. Since a condition of your entry to the UK was to study and you are no longer studying you are in violation of your visa. The best thing to do is to return to your home country immediately to prevent you from being deported and excluded from re-entering the UK. The poster below is incorrect any new visa application will have to be made from your home country and it will only be considered if you were not removed from the UK. Best advice is to leave prior to the expiration of the visa as you are in violation of it.
2 :
well i guess you could reapply for a holiday visa, or something like that, but dont leave it too long otherwise youll get into tonnes of trouble
3 :
when you received your UK student visa? it was for study only, if you decide to drop out of school? you are in an illegal situation, you must leave the UK. you have no legal grounds anymore to stay in the UK. after you leave? you can travel all you want.

My old man was the head of science at a grammar school in Plymouth for 30 odd years, at the Comprehensive school I went to they thought that would make me a science whizz (when nothing, in fact, could be further from the truth) and naturally put me in the top sets for science, in which I was massively out of my depth. At the beginning of each lesson, the whole group (except me) would be gleefully indulged in chess puzzles (like the ones in the newspaper that are like a foreign language, even if you can play chess) and very complicated equations and they were doing them for recreational fun. I dive bombed of course. Everytime my old man goes on about science all I can hear is blah blah blah. I am not a dunce though, I just don't have the capacity for mathematics that is required for advanced science
12 :
I loved science and health. I didn't mind math either, it was english I hated.
13 :
When I was in high school, being smart was considered "cool", class was competitive, and people who received poor grades got made fun of for being stupid. So in short, no.
14 :
Yes, but ask the fun loving, cheerleader, surfer girl how much she could go back and be "geeky"?! Believe me when I say that 10/20 years after high school geeks rule. Study, study, learn learn learn!
15 :
No. Not at all. Kids grumbled about going to science class the same way they grumbled about all classes.
16 :
Not where I attended.
17 :
it wasn't my favorite subject, but at least they taught us about what science really is. science is theory (watch all the science people run lol) theory means: conjucture,speculation,unproven idea or opinion. All the science believers blocked us from their questions (including rev. wang woo woo) because the dictionary pwned their "theory" out of the water. some beg of the truth but cry and whine when they realize a dictionary found in any library or any country proves science is an "unproven idea". watch how many block me from this because the truth hurts sometimes.
18 :
I made straight A's in science.....but math was my favorite.
19 :
No it was a very serious business when I was at school. Where I live not many get the opportunity and I was very lucky, People are idiots if they don't take advantage of learning every aspect of their education opportunity. And they get everything they deserve for not doing so. :) Practicing Shaman... quantum physics rocks.

When I was in 6th and 7th grade I loved biology class. Even though they had the audacity to say goofy things about evolution. I will never forget how dopey it sounded to me. "The reason there are squirrels is because the predecessors of squirrels passed on their genes while those which did not survive did not pass on their genes." Of course it does make a small measure of sense, but to deny that there is intelligent design simply because those who survived passed on their genes while those who failed to survive did not -- it is the height of arrogant atheistic denial in my opinion.
