In the latter the victims are the customers who have to pay higher insurance premiums. In the former, the victims are everyone as the council tax increases.<br /><br />Now having said that, its good for kids to have instruments provided to them to learn music. But not personally to each kid, but provided by the school. Also, not hard to learn ones. The point is to make the kids apppreciate music by producing something nice without years of practise. If schools are self governed and managed by parents then they are closer to the kids and know if they really would do better with instruments than council officials who follow goverment guidelines without any commensense.SadButMadLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836368722377421009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961783734974841063.post-32389317350838825372010-05-10T09:46:48.973+01:002010-05-10T09:46:48.973+01:00I "learned" to play the recorder in scho...I "learned" to play the recorder in school. As far as I remember they were school property which looking back is a bit gross. Then I'd rather taken the violin. In that age someone's saliva might have made me think I was pregnant. :DCynaraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622055597158147596noreply@blogger.com
