In La-La-Land, Everything's Just Got to be FUN


In criticizing Education Minister (The name is Bond.) Shirley Bond, the Sun editorial reveals that at the deepest level it is singing from the exact same hymn book.


Let's make exercise "fun," says the editorial.


Let's not do anything to the students that would make them uncomfortable, says the Minister.


Go forbid the students under the immense pressure of living at home and talking on their cells and text messaging during class and flying around the world on holidays and not paying a mortgage or doing laundry or cooking...under all that pressure, god forbid they should be TOLD to do anything that isn't FUN.


Because, as we all know that is a perfect training for the real world which is just one big fun after another.

"the real world which is just one big fun after another". What? I am being short changed! Is there a Government Agency that can rectify this? Who is the Minister of Big Fun these days? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
