*sigh* So, for years and years and years there has been moaning and whinging that the arts are being neglected in schools and cut from the curriculum and not encouraged etc. The government finally does something right and proposes Culture classes for secondary school pupils. And what do we do? Bitch and whinge and moan that it's stupid and not enough money is being spent on it etc. That article doesn't properly convey the whinging I've just endured on the news. The story started with 'Is High school really the place for High Culture?' (see what they did there? *eyeroll*)
It's a good idea. Even if they're just trying it out for now, with the hope to expand it later, it's a good idea. And all the news does is point out flaws and why its improbable and puts a negative spin on it.
This is the Briish media. Negative. I hate it.
