Designated Futures

The English,England Catholic and state education system 1955/65.
or this generation.

If you went to a catholic school in England between 1955 and 1965 you will have been educated in a competitive way.From the first day of a child attending they would have been assessed for the class position.The class position was based on intelligent capability and class. Within a day or so each child would have been placed in a front row to back row order.( It is worth mentioning this system failed the visually impaired but intellectually more capable children.)But this front row back row system was based on more than intellectual capability.It was based on parish connections.Who went to mass the most and who served the local priest.The more you served the higher up the higher up you got to go.If you were a reader,and all your family attended mass,(you could not attain this position if they did not)then you were a high up.Lesser mortals were collectors.But for the children of a parish and their position in a class at the school all of this came into play in a very serious way.Serious enough to decide if they should remain in said school or be removed from it to anywere.But to keep on track.This class of 1955 five year olds would then assemble in the designated order of-most influencial child,front row.Next.close associated to them,back row.Child of single mum or mum alone,alone meant in prison unmarried,forces or at sea.(noted like a kind of "they are vulnerable"., (quote withheld.)This was designed to cater for those that had and those that did not have.Later in the 1960's when it was noted it was changed to "competitive education".to hide it.Bearing in mind the people it was directed to at the time were no more educated than their back row children,less so.But they had one thing in their favour.Experience.That kind of thing that tells you somethings not right.Something the smart but not clever never learn.So this competitive way began to have the effect of bullying,not surprisingly.One could see it as a pre-determined devide and rule strategy,but on children?.Why not?For a system already guilty of child sacrifice and wars of attrition,satanism,political genocide,asassination and procreation ad in fin.
So why not children?From the begining, of their way of corrupting the foolish and uneducated. Religion has always used fear,lack of knowledge,mis-knowledge,or outright lies.In other words anything that got their way.With no holds barred.All hidden in piety and peace.
