Now Siobhan knows she is not stupid

Article Abstract:

High Level Language Disorder (HLLD) is a condition where a person only understands basic spoken and written language and finds communication difficult. It is more complicated than dyslexia as the child cannot process information because word meaning and order of sentences is impossible. HLLD children are often clever at practical or artistic subjects. A high IQ but a low verbal score may indicate HLLD. It is often undiagnosed and the child considered stupid or disruptive. Speech therapists can teach ways of identifying words, and strategies to cope with the problem.

Who are you calling dumb, stupid?

Article Abstract:

Some observers believe that there has been a significant decline in standards in television broadcasting in the UK in the 1990s. Dismissing this as a process of 'dumbing down' is misguided, as it fails to address questions about changes in cultural values. It is wrong to assume that serious and intellectually challenging television is placed under threat in some way by programmes that are emotionally attractive or easily approachable. Good television is just as concerned with the exuberant and the trivial as with the discerning and the demanding.

Education? It's the economy, stupid

Article Abstract:

The UK Labour party believes that improving educational standards is the key to preventing the emergence of a large underclass in the UK. This view fails to take into account the fact that those who are in work are actually increasingly better qualified than in the past. The real solution lies with ensuring a high sustainable rate of long-term economic growth, but politicians are unwilling to acknowledge this. Macro-economic success if vital if 'supply-side' policies such as improved education are to be effective.
