Just another internet nobody...
Sadly... My 95 yr old gran has had two strokes and got pneumonia and is in hospital. Its not looking good... She's had an amazing life. 9 children, 19 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren is a huge legacy. And we are all still connected and in touch. A huge, but close family which revolves around her. She's lived through countless wars and technological innovation as well as watching her own husband of 50years and her eldest son die. I don't know if I could make it to 95 after all that. Even with me being 37, to be on the verge of losing someone who's been there your whole life, and the whole life of every family member, is very sad.
My gran is 95. Shes seen planes, cars, iPods, tv, Internet etc all arrive in her lifetime. It's no wonder it's hard for some old people to keep a grip on reality. The world is no longer the place they grew up in, or recognise.
And while I'm ranting... Who's bright idea was it to let parents set up their own schools to close the gap between rich and poor? In my experience the less well off parents don't give a flying fuck about their kids education, and the well off ones wouldn't want their precious darling mixing with a poor kid anyway. It'll actually widen the gap. Stop messing with education. Kids continue to suffer.
