There'll Always Be an England1

According to the Daily Mail (UK):
A secondary school is to allow pupils to swear at teachers - as long as they don't do so more than five times in a lesson. A running tally of how many times the f-word has been used will be kept on the board. If a class goes over the limit, they will be 'spoken' to at the end of the lesson. . .

"Within each lesson the teacher will initially tolerate (although not condone) the use of the f-word (or derivatives) five times and these will be tallied on the board so all students can see the running score," he wrote in the letter

"Over this number the class will be spoken to by the teacher at the end of the lesson."
On second thought, if this sort of chaos and "tolerance" of the intolerable is the norm, England's doomed.

And what does she say? "F- you, too, students"?

Shoot me now. Is it any wonder that they have 13 year-olds mugging and knifing people over there?
