Don't call the kids clever..

'Teachers should stop calling bright pupils "clever" for fear they might not be considered "cool" by classmates, a union has been told. Insted the should refer to academic high-achievers as successful'

What kind of delusional insanity is this? Regardless of what the teacher calls you, if you are a geek you will be called such. The boffins will still be called boffins, squares will be called squares... people with glasses will get called four eyes, boys who display effeminate mannerisms will be called gay, the list could go on for ever. Don't patronise our children. If a child is clever tell him. If the chavs in the class mock them then so be it. In society those who feel the need will always find something to laugh at you for, whether its the way you look, the way you talk or the way you dress.

I will continue to use the word clever if a child warrants it. It has so much more meaning.. par examplé - a young child tells you the time from the clock for the first time. You tell them they are very successful. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as you are very clever.

Let those who go through life with deferred success' revel in the fact this country is being moulded around them more are more thanks to our government.

And if you are mocked then there's only one thing left to do... Fat Sau, Multiple Lin Wan Kuens' followed by Man Geng Sau with an elbow, double Man Geng Sau with a headbutt. That'll sort the fu*kers out.
