Careers Day
I have a soft spot for Waterloo Road. I read the review in the Guardian, and they don’t like it, too many low class story lines that include DNA Tests, I suppose. It is complicated, in some ways, I think that it is like eating crisps, they have no nutritional value, are completely addictive and you feel empty once you have finished a bag.On the other hand, maybe how much one likes Waterloo Road, depends on a simplistic enjoyment of voyeurism. Simplistic, in that it can’t really be voyeurism because it is a television show and it is fictional. Anybody who thinks that they are getting a view of the real lives of the underclass has no self reflective media awareness at all.However, the new posh Tory teacher was great in her critique of careers day. She criticized the head teacher for aiming low for her pupils by only including careers that focused on trades and not representing professionals. This is a problem across the British educational system, and I find it shocking to the core. It is rewriting the class divide across the nation every day of the week every time a child goes to school. I was particularly gob smacked by it, when my niece who is getting As and A stars on her GCSEs at the grammar school was only advised to go into social work or teaching. By the time she finishes secondary school she will be fluent in three languages and that is the best that they can do?
