Arms companies are making money by taking over UK schools

Of course, reading that from a nutter blog from the other side of the Atlantic, you are free to inflate the situation with whatever sulphurous blend of ass-warm methane that you wish..
You do realise that Barrow in Furness is one of Britain's last active shipyards, where BAE are (rightfully or wrongly) building Britain's aircraft carriers, and are by far and away the main employer in the region. Obviously they have an interest in ensuring their employees' children and possible future employees are educated and have social services, no?
You'd be better off attacking the angle that Britain's corporatisation of the social sphere leads to the necessity of private sponsorship of schools, rather than trying to imply there's some dark agenda of multi-generational mind control underpinning the situation.
- you got problem take it up with the author, but thanks for the input. my answer would be possibly they have an interest but do its still a question of what typeyurimon
- society you will end up with with corporations running the show. i'm sure there people for it but i'm bit skeptical because everything is already corrupt.yurimon

I'm a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me
by Edward Schlosser on June 3, 2015I'm a professor at a midsize state school. I have been teaching college classes for nine years now. I have won (minor) teaching awards, studied pedagogy extensively, and almost always score highly on my student evaluations. I am not a world-class teacher by any means, but I am conscientious; I attempt to put teaching ahead of research, and I take a healthy emotional stake in the well-being and growth of my students.
Things have changed since I started teaching. The vibe is different. I wish there were a less blunt way to put this, but my students sometimes scare me — particularly the liberal ones.
Not, like, in a person-by-person sense, but students in general. The student-teacher dynamic has been reenvisioned along a line that's simultaneously consumerist and hyper-protective, giving each and every student the ability to claim Grievous Harm in nearly any circumstance, after any affront, and a teacher's formal ability to respond to these claims is limited at best.

Banks annihilating 'zombie' foreclosures
They are a blight on neighborhoods and bank balance sheets: homes in the foreclosure process, some in limbo for several years, their former owners gone but the home still not repossessed by the bank. They were dubbed "zombies" because their empty state was seen as a danger to both the neighborhood and the overall health of the housing market.
Banks had let these homes sit because they were of so little value and because of endless foreclosure processing issues. Most are in disrepair, some occupied by squatters or drug dealers. But now, things are changing. The legal process has been largely streamlined, and as home prices rise nationwide, so too do the values of these zombie homes; banks are now pushing them through the foreclosure process and out to auction far more quickly.
