Song lyric of the day
All my life's a circle;
Sunrise and sundown;
The Moon rolls thru the nighttime;
Till the daybreak comes around.
All my life's a circle;
But I can't tell you why;
The Season's spinning round again;
The years keep rollin' by - Harry Chapin
This seemed so apt as I listened to the early morning news to hear that the Government is looking to scrap GCSEs and return to O' levels and a simpler system. So I couldn't help thinking of the phrase what goes around comes around.
I could never see the need to change in the first place but here we are again re-inventing the wheel. How long before a subsequent Government decides to go back to GCSEs? This is all very well as long as the emphasis is put on teaching children the basics because in my limited experience of the education system as a former chair of governors some of the youngsters cannot even grasp the basics of the subject they are being taught.
Tonight sees the final session of our social running club in Hethersett. We have been going for 10 weeks (doesn't time fly?) It's been great fun and hard work and I certainly feel fitter for it, not to mention losing half a stone in weight. I'm sure that the club will continue in some form or other at least throughout the summer. A huge thank you to Norfolk Olympiad Paul Evans and Coach Ron for making it all so much fun.
