I have never knocked anyone achievements, and im a complete study addict, and have done alot of training in jobs, and at home,colleges etc apart from my initial education at school. Personally i have always found training of any sort extremely valuable and indeed necessary, the same as education is for kids. But that wasnt my arguement, and i was referring to many of your posts panda not just that one. But i dont think you got the point i was making, and im going off topic so lets leave it there.
It’s called freedom of speech, debating, arguing a point. I think I am allowed to do that just like you and anyone else on here is.
Ok? :D

Rote learning is no use at all without practical application. And as for teachers…. what is the old adage, those that can do, those that can’t teach.
Rote learning is quick memorization for the purposes of learning lines for a play, song etc.
A doctor, teacher or engineer wouldn’t use that style of learning – it would be impossible to pass their exams if they did. And they gain valuable practicable experience whilst training with work placements.
Seems like one of life’s failures taught you to fail spectacularly well!
If I was you, I’d stop digging now.
Oh dear, I seem to have touched a nerve :wink:

If it helps your ego to think that, then yes, you are far too tough a debater for me, and i’ll get going from this thread, well atleast until there is someone to debate with thats interested in debating the facts of a post and not point score. As for mims i think she has eloquently put a sensible and honest side to the debate, without the need to twist peoples words to make put her point or opinion across, she needs no shovel, but i could always leave one hanging around just incase anyone should need it.
