You students are only training yourselves to be puppets of the state.

To hell with higher education. We need a revolution within ourselves, our communities and our world.

Choose Liberty. Choose Anarchy.

Boo to education. Ideas are shit, thinking is boring. Just like The Sun says.

The Sun... I wouldn't know, we've banned the sale of the Sun and the Daily Star in all of our shops since Hillsborough; I don't know anywhere on Merseyside that sells the Sun!

what makes you think that educated = qualified?

as a matter of fact some of us are perfectly capable of being intelligent and educated without being set homework. we do our own research, we debate amongst ourselves.

some of us would consider staying in school until you're in your twenties to be the easy option. university is allowing people to tell you how you should think, instead of hunting around and drawing your own conclusions. university is recieving training so you can jump straight into a job, instead of working hard from the bottom to achieve a position you have earned.

Higher Education

18.01.2004 00:13

I left school with few qualifications and after 20 years working as a trawler deckhand, fairground worker, and industrial painter/shotblaster went to university as a mature student. Take my word for it - higher education is not an easy option. And today many students are working practically full-time hours in addition to studying for their degrees in order to support themselves.
