School's Out!
Haven't done much with the blog recently. Needless to say that I have no excuse now that I am off for a while. If it doesn't like there is nothing new here.. then look again. It's worthwhile checking regularly on my photo links, You Tube page and also my last.fm page. All of these are linked from within my blog page. See if you can find them.
So what's new? Well I have uploaded some recent photos to my Picasa album and there are some America videos on my You Tube site. Send me a post if you can't find them; oh, and feel free to write comments.

Video from the Cabot Tower, Bristol
This video was shot on my Sony Ericsson K800i on 11th April 2007. It's a 260 foot tower, built in 1897 to commemorate John Cabot's voyage from Bristol and the sighting of North America four hundred years earlier. The views of Bristol and the surrounding countryside are spectacular from the top! Have a look for yourself..

Children to be given more powers in the classroom
Kurt saw this story on the BBC News website and thought you
should see it.
**Government plans tough new measures to deal with unruly classroom behaviour**
In a shock U-turn decision aimed at combating growing poor and unruly classroom behaviour, Government Ministers announced today that they will be piloting a new scheme aimed at relieving the burden on teachers. Pupils will be given the power to take over the running of lessons if they feel that the teacher is not coping. The class teacher will effectively "swap places" with the child and then be allowed to throw insults at the child as they attempt to teach the lesson. Ministers hope that by putting the child in charge, they will see the error of their ways and come to realise how their bad behaviour is preventing the teacher from doing their job. Children will also be allowed to confiscate phones from teachers to ring parents for extra support in lessons.
