Yeah I read that bit about teachers fighting to get climate change lessons in. Honestly, I reckon they’ve got bigger things to worry about. Kids leaving school should know how to do a proper job, not just how to hug a tree. My mate Dave’s lad finished college and can’t even change a tyre. That’s the sort of uselessness we’re breeding.
We’ve got enough pressure on schools already with maths and English. Instead of filling their heads with doom and gloom about the planet, which let's face it, most of it is made up anyway by people who want to tax us more, they should be learning practical stuff. Trades, how to fix things, how to actually earn a living so they don't end up on benefits like some people I know. That’s what’s pressing.
And all this talk about "environmental education" sounds like another way to push woke nonsense. It's always the same people telling us we're ruining the planet.

As a doctor, I've seen the impact of poor environmental education, kids coming in with asthma and other respiratory problems because of air pollution, it's not just about hugging trees, it's about understanding the world they live in. We should be teaching kids about the environment so they can make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing, not just how to change a tyre.
