More like a detention centre... almost a prison, as close as it gets. I've watched a fair few juvenile detention centre documentaries - looks pretty similar to that! I think many of us would question about the honesty and motivations of those labelling parents criminals and whether that label and the consequences are really in the best interests of the children involved.

I am mindful that we do know what's best for kids, there's enough research out there and there's more than enough evidence that many of the children's homes  in particular are rife with abuse and poor outcomes.. sadly all too many foster care is not all it should be either - at best it should only ever be a temporary measure.

I don't condone stealing, technically speaking it's wrong, but I think we have all been guilty of the odd small or smallish misdemeanour on that front. As a kid my aunt used to clean offices and she used to pilfer paper for us kids to draw on. She 'said' it was in the bin. I can't really see how that would happen. But we did appreciate it.. to us it was like Christmas! We'd carefully count out the sheets so we all had the same amount, say 5 sheets each. It was such a treat! I have also been known to purloin paperclips, unusual ones, and pens, again unusual ones.   less

    Excellent news if that's the case. Donald behaved appallingly.. I am afraid though that many of his fans want him to behave that way. They condone it, and think it's great.

Reading books, (which I love) the main aim is to 'finish' it so I can move on to another, I signed up to some online courses, I love them, really fascinating, but as usual I feel a pressure to get to the end.. When I do, I will probably go and start some more courses... and do the same thing... Other patterns people might have can be repeating relationships, getting involved with people of similar types.   less

The final element of the qualification was a final externally assessed assignment - marked by an examiner. I had my last assignment referred, (i.e. failed!) 2x and only passed on the 3rd attempt. Herein lies my dilemma - I KNOW that my first submission should have passed, I met the criteria! And the reasons they claimed it didn't meet the criteria were spurious and unsupportable and I also have evidence of inconsistent/unfair marking, e.g. a friend showed me her submission where she passed a question I didn't pass even though she had less explanation and 'concepts' and I passed one she didn't even though both our logs were identical in format.. I tackled this at the time by literally giving them what they wanted.. regardless of whether I thought they were wrong, 2nd submission failed on again a very debatable point, a matte...    less

Like when I was younger, (many, many years ago!) I had punk, new romance, pop, two-tone, these were all regularly in the charts and played on the radio, along with some 50's and 60's music. There were one or two American country artists known, but that was about it.  Now we have access to zillions of artists, groups, different genres .. and I wonder if we are, if anything, less tolerant of different kinds of music? What got me thinking was that someone in my house was playing a video game and it had music. My son commented on the terrible taste of music. I thought, hmm but someone must have thought it was great because they chose it...  I'd never heard of the music before..   less
