  • Yes, well, Chris Woodhead thinks that HE is for middle-class people because they are cleverer than the plebs and that this is because they have 'better genes'.

    He is a knob.

    He's also right, despite his conservative leanings.

    I fully believe that education should not be a prerequisite to employment, with the obvious exceptions of employment that requires high amounts of education (medicine, dentistry, architecture et).

    There are too many people in HE, and not enough money. Too many people go into university for not a good enough reason. It's detrimental to themselves, more than anything else. Either mediocrity is allowed to continue, or people are going to have to pay more for their education. Or less people should be allowed in.

    Also, I doubt chris woodhead would say anything about middle class people having better genes, considering he's dying from motor neurone disease. Education is not for everyone, at the end of the day.

    And all of this comes from a fucking fine art student for crying out loud!
