"This shocked me to no end--and was an upsetting truth to gras--but apparently from the mid 1870's until the Civil Rights movement in the 1960's in the United States, African Americans were routinely denied their right to vote!!!!!!! It took the Civil Rights movement to accomplish this--late in the 20th century!!! At the same time, all of the fighting about school integration was on-going, and the Little Rock, Arkansas school system shut down for a year or more rather than admit African American students!!!"

Not being rude (at all) but you didn't know this?

Few users of this UK based forum will be able to relate to the information you have provided. I would suggest you approach a few UK Universities directly and enquire yourself.

Lots written about this in the past. READ back through the forum.

To quote Marx (Groucho), any University that will take a person without an Hons. degree probably isn't worth going to. The only rider there is if said person has significant, relevant work experience.

I think a fair amount of the bashing was based more on what she said (which was uniformly boll*cks), as opposed to the quality of her written English. A strange girl it has to be said.

I know they won't let you in if you can't spell the subject disciplines name!

"Pathetic. If you want to Ban me, go ahead. I was simply stating The petition to ban a particular type of posts not only violated the fundamental human right to free information, but is a hidden strategy to discriminate third world students".

You're either a Troll (as mentioned), thick as 2 very short planks, or have some (psychological) 'issues'.

Fair bit said about this in the past. Search through the Forum.

It would appear this person has a MSc and wants a job. I would suggest one of the multitude of forums dedicated to graduates finding work.

This has what to do with PhD's? Just wondering. Lots of forums out there for people in the same boat as you, where you'll no doubt get much better advice than here.

Ask a better question or this won't get a reply.

That was a tad petty, Thor.

If you read my post you'll find I was quoting other teachers. And yes you do sound (very) defensive. As a btw, I was chatting about this subject with a pal (who's happens to be a teacher). His school have a HoD (English) who's in fact 25. I wonder what you learn in 3 years in the profession.

It means that the career ladder in teaching is rather shorter than before. I know HoD's in their late 20's and even a Head teacher who's 33. What I'm implying is that there isn't the intense competition (career wise) there used to be in teaching as the (staff) drop-out rate is so high. Anyone who stays in the industry for 7 years plus is considered a veteran. Nothing really to do with my opinion of the profession. Thats how it is (or how practicing teachers tell me how it is).
