I could go into a lengthy rant about this week. But why bother when there's a cartoon that'll say it all for you



I increasingly wonder about the value of most of the things that people are tested on. A few years ago, a lot of it could be said to have value but now we're in the digital age where almost any piece of information can be brought up in a matter of seconds, it seems that a lot of what is getting taught in schools is only useful for pub quizzes (case in point, my mind just blanked on the plural of quiz, a ten second google query and I have the answer).

I would suggest that for subjects like law, history and most of the other essay writing subjects; a better method of examination would be using computers connected to the internet ,  giving candidates access to all the resources they would in a real life scenario. Results would be less dependant on memory and more on capability to find, analyse and interpret information, which I think is more akin to reality.

As for my plans for this evening. Well:
