Wrestling and self control

An esteemed MP has suggested wrestling may help young men quell urges and anger:

Teach boys to wrestle to stop knife crime, says Miriam Cates

‘It would help them learn self-control,’ says former Tory MP who co-wrote social report that paints grim picture of plight of young men


Young boys should be taught to wrestle to stop knife crime, Miriam Cates has said.

The former Conservative MP has helped author a social report entitled Lost Boys, which found young women were earning more than young men for the first time.

The report, by the Centre for Social Justice think tank, also found boys lagged behind their female peers at every stage of their education.

Speaking at the report launch on Wednesday, Ms Cates said young boys should be “taught to control natural aggression” by wrestling.

She pointed to the charity Lads Need Dads, where she said men would often “just wrestle with these young boys” to help them have self-control.



Anyone wanna wrestle?
 

The curriculum has been set up to favour girls for 30 years, as part of the very, very narrow national curriculum. The sit down, learn this quietly by rote, is cheap education, favoured by governments not willing to invest in a properly educated population - and more girls are good at that discipline than boys. Boys tend to learn by hands on and try, which seems to be the way more boys minds are wired. It is more expensive to accommodate this - science equipment and practicals, metal work, wood work engineering tools all replaced with "design on a piece of paper, what your thing would look like if we could afford the stuff for you to make it". Frankly the nation has neglected and lost those skills in the teaching profession too.

Add to that, for 20 years there's been enormous pressure to promote girls into STEM subjects. Fair enough, but as a consequence of this positive discrimination, boys have been neglected and given no such aspiration.

Boys' aggression is exacerbated because the curriculum is as boring as hell and for them as well as largely irrelevant to the skills many know they'll need by watching family members.

That's my take after 30 years, mainly working under a right wing government who detest critical thinking in their population.

Still, mustn't grumble. I'm sure the tories continue to know what's best. *cough 'kers

Excuse me kind sir, you've been an educator for some three decades and change, and I threw you a '1984' reference earlier. Besides being one of the much lauded pieces of critical observation literature in all of history, how is it me, a fully fledged imbecile, that's faced with bringing you to erm... book?
 
Male wording there...call it massaging and you'll get full participation. They can't say no to a full-body lotion massage (ie anger management).

And I said massaging, not fondling, ya' pervs.
