When did learning stop being the responsibility of the students?

Teaching is the job of the teachers; learning the job of the students. Yet these days it seems that parents think they should have a say in both, not to mention grades.

Mona from BBC's Apprentice is not homophobic. It is Alan Sugar that should be looking at himself. He picked someone who openly lied, got the timing wrong and talks down people over a solid performer. The quote about her allegedly saying she would not allow her six year old son to meet a gay man is obviously tabloid rubbish. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

do the same principles apply if you're bald? is it acceptable to make fun of the those challenged in the follicle department? or for that matter height, weight, etc? you could be a balding ginger midget with a pot belly. Oh hang on - isn't this the general description of most glaswegians?
