I was unaware of the “waste teacher’s time getting them to watch kids brush their teeth” policy suggestion before now, but many thanks for bringing it to my attention as it is hands down the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while. Needed the lols.
Amazing how some things that are sensible / viable / necessary (nationalised utilities, for instance) are considered beyond the pale of reasonable political discussion, but you can lob an idiot bomb like “maybe our overstretched teaching resource can do a decent job of watching a bunch of foundation age kids brush their teeth?” and our dumbfuck press corps will lap it up like a bunch of thirsty labradors.
Between our politicians and our journalists, this country doesn’t stand a chance.
