This - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1215389/Abandoned-parents-betrayed-schools-young-boys-turning-criminal-gangs-protection-sense-belonging.html - is without a doubt the best and most important article printed by any British newspaper in months if not years. And Harriet Sergeant is an exceptional journalist - I have seen other items by her, and she is brave as a steel sword. But I regret to say that I foresaw every word of it before I ever started blogging, and described it in my article about the Tony Blair generation two or three years ago.

I think they are much worse than a waste of money. I think they are positively counter-educational. I have sat in on a few lessons where twenty-eight children sat in front of twenty-eight screens. The teacher could not follow almost any of them. It wasn't a lesson, it was a free period with free internet access on the side.
