Was Nigel Pearson Educated to love Cherry Bakewells?

[Guest]

i found that if i try and read it really quickly it almost makes sense what hes trying to communicate with us

I find it better to ignore it. I am so tempted to hit the "Delete Topic" option.....

There may be some truth in this...

You have a friend called Wigan?

The original post is a great example of why we should bring back the spelling/grammar police thread.

Apart from Babylon's Babelfish like translation

This is why this country has gone to pot. I pressume this is a young adult, an example of the education system in this country. It makes me laugh each year when we get record number of GCSE passes etc, when young people can not even grasp the English language.Texting has also got a lot to answer for also, and ultimately parenting. Im not that old 34, but something major has gone wrong in society. As for the Pearson debate, hes going to get linked with every job. Success breeds speculation. Take it with a pinch of salt.

Is there giant spliff being passed around FoxesTalk members that I'm missing out on?

I'll trade you a couple of drags for some of my Galaxy bar.

I don't understand why anyone would want to manage Wigan anyway. They have absolutely no ambition. They have done amazingly well to get to the Prem and stay there, now their chairman wants to cash in, not try to improve: "Want our best player? How much money you got?". They have a brilliant manager in Bruce, but as soon as someone else wants him they think of the compo, useless! At least some of the clubs that get up there give it a go!

[maddog]

It's alright everyone.

Wigan know they can't get NP now.

They want Ian Holloway but he's just gone to Blackpool so they won't get him.

So in the end they've decided on Craig Levein.

Wigan may turn to Dundee United's Craig Levein if they miss out on Martinez. (Scottish Sun)

If they don't get Levein, they are lining up a shock return to Premier League management for Dave Bassett

Good god, did they not see what Levein did - In the Championship

Good manager in Scotland but that just sums the SPL up I suppose.

I'm not sticking up for the poster when I say this; but you're not quite the representation of eloquence, either.

What I'm really trying to say, is that the lad who posted is obviously retarded, but to use him as an example, and generalise a whole demographic, is in-accurate. He's not representative of the population of young people. If anything he's a representation of a percentage of people in England. - The percentage of those who either left school early, or couldn't grasp education. This percentage is true of all ages, not just youngsters.

What chance do teenagers have? If GCSE pass rates decreased, we'd get it in the throat. They're increasing, yet we still get it in the throat.

Oh, and to those who say 'GCSE's are getting easier' - Teachers that I know, maintain that they are not, and surely they'd know as it's their job to teach it. I did GCSE's last year, but my point still stands.

If their spelling and grammar are really that bad it's good that he/she had the courage to post on here.

As bad as it is it's 10 times better to try and write in Standard English than in text talk.

Perhaps if the person is encouraged to post more often they will improve if we all set good examples.

I think the over use of expletives is just as bad, there are plenty of wonderful adjectives out there that can be used instead - use an on-line Thesaurus if you're stuck for ideas.

I don't understand why people, if they're using Firefox don't take advantage of the spell check, even the best writer in the world will make mistakes.

PS. I failed GCE English many years ago - but then it was harder to pass!

GCSEs are piss easy.

It's the people who say A Levels are getting easier that fook me off, especially when i'm doing 2 of the hardest subjects you can do, and they aint easy.

You're right, they are easy, to anyone with a brain cell or two. They're no easier, though.

A levels are a lot harder, you're quite right. What are the two hard subjects that you're taking?

[Webbo]

You're right, they are easy, to anyone with a brain cell or two. They're no easier, though.

If you've never taken the old O levels though there's no way you can know. Your teacher has a vested interest in telling you that they're just as hard because a high pass rate makes him look better.

I have no idea whether they're harder or not either but I have my suspicions.

This probably isn't the place for this, but OF COURSE A LEVELS ARE HARDER!

Just as people who have never taken GCSE's can never know. The only evidence out there is teachers, who have done O levels, and now teach GCSE's. The teacher who told me, told me one to one, so there really was no need to lie.

This probably isn't the place for this, but OF COURSE A LEVELS ARE HARDER!

Congratulations, but if you read back you'd see that I was acknowledging this, and never did I say that I was suprised. I'd say there's no place for an idiotic comment like that.

EDIT: Oh, and if my previous comment was read as if I was struggling with my A levels; No, not really. B's and A's, tar much.

People like University lecturers and A-level teachers?

[Guest Bilo]

People like University lecturers and A-level teachers?

Very true. It has actually got to the point where a number of universities value performance in their own entrance exams more highly than A Level grades. An A grade in an A Level does not hold the same kudos it once did sadly, hence the imminent introduction of the A* grade.

Although quite how this thread has turned into a debate on the standards of compulsory and post-16 education is something of a mystery.

The bottom line is that Pearson isn't going to Wigan, they've no ambition and are a smaller club than us with smaller attendances. It's a miracle they are where they are, but the only way is down for such a small club as they have no real hope of ever becoming a Premiership force. The end.
