"On education, he said it was unacceptable for teachers to lag behind their own pupils in their knowledge of Information Communication."

Can it really be another year? This is the year I went self-employed as a consultant for e-learning, marketing and website usability. We're still here after 5 months! Praise God. John is now in his last year of secondary school and is doing his GCSE's before going on to college. He's decided he wants to go to Cambridge to study Maths, good for him, no idea how he's going to get there mind you but there must be a way. Lizzie 13, is becoming a young lady and packs a fair punch, she was at a sports event today doing shot put and running, she has a grade 2 singing exam in December so I hope she does well, I hope she practices! James 10 is getting on better at school, I think he's sort of dumbed himself down but he's surviving which is a good thing. He was telling me all the different ways of taking drugs this evening, I asked he where he learnt it and he said he got it all from books. He's such smart cookie! Fiona, my better half, has been told her job will no longer exist by next August, she's a parent support advisor. She deals with really difficult cases around the estate here, I mean really, really difficult if you know what I mean. The estate has 69% unemployment with 3 and 4th generations on benefits. The fact we live on the estate makes all the difference, it's not someone from the "outside" coming in telling people what to do.
Colleagues, have a great Christmas, and never underestimate the work you do. Children will remember, think and talk about you until they grow old and tell their grand children about you as well. I wish you all the best this Christmas!
