But why should I have to agree with their opinion?

Amazing

Nice

Good point

No problem at all pal, it’s all good :)

Some asshole once said, “Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.” This is also good advice, despite the source.

Pretty sure he’s somewhere in this comments section (someone else offered almost exactly that same advice lol)

Well, ‘scientific’ journals in the loosest sense — mainly papers published by academics on these topics I should’ve said instead.

Why thanks!

I do prefer option 2 tbh

Wow.

Podcasts/radio, none. I read the news (BBC, guardian, itv, etc.) plus government guidance documents.

Edit: oh and scientific journals/articles

trying too hard to get one ends up being bad for you

That’s true. You know, sometimes I think that’s how we end up with all them crappy fad diet things

Also see the official government report on the matter and similar matters: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a06eb37c0cc74b4523e4e8c/youth-justice-white-paper.pdf

Certainly:

No, of course not, I’m not disagreeing at all. It’s just (and as you said, it literally could just be the media twisting the narrative so to speak) it is being made out to be getting worse. That plus one of my friends they say that their kids school has stopped punishments for not doing homework — basically letting the kids get away with not doing work. So I just was curious is all.

To be clear: I can only go off what I’m told and what I see, so if I’m in error, it’s only because of that I’m shown/see. That said, the guardian recently published a report on sexual assault in schools. I’ll have to try and find the article.

I do agree that funding undoubtedly pays a large role in the issues, but I can’t help wonder if, for example with behavioural issues, it seems like with the rise of youth gangs and youth violence up and down the country, most of which happens outside of school, if there could be other factors at play (obviously delinquents outside of school will become delinquents in school, which further fuels bad behaviour)

Well put, very good explanation. Thanks for clarifying

So you think school issues are primarily a financial issue? Can you explain?

I’m a creep for posting about things other people post publicly about themselves on YouTube Facebook etc.? XD LOL you don’t have a clue mate
