Oh well us paupers will get there one day. My bug bear with Sir Ken, gifted orator that he is, is that whilst it is easy to critique the school system, unless you are going in on the ground and observing what is happening right now, you end up sounding more and more like a frustrated cynic. I would love for him to attend some of the schools I go to and see if he had the same edge when confronted with really disaffected students (And teachers). I know that I am "somebody" when I get to go to one of Carole's salons. For now....I will keep grafting. I wish I could have been at the RSA lectures. Oh well us paupers will get there one day.
