People use, "loan," as a verb, meaning, "lend." In past tense, one hears, "loaned," instead of, "lent." Whether loaning or lending, the meaning is the same.

Don't get me wrong- I love learning. However, it seems to me, from my own views and other people's experience- that university is just a waste of time and money. A corporate establishment that cons you into spending tens of thousands of dollars and four or more years of your life - and for what? A diploma that is useful for achieving success in the job world. Aren't there other ways of learning and shouldn't wisdom and success be measured by other things than what a piece of paper says?

Nursery trainees 'cannot spell'

Mrs Lawson says Vicky Pollards do not make good nursery nurses Students who want to train as childcare workers should have to meet a minimum standard for their courses, a childcare and teachers' leader said.

Too many students starting childcare training courses were unable to spell, said Deborah Lawson, chair of the Professional Association of Teachers.

Mrs Lawson said a growing number of young staff dressed and behaved inappropriately for a nursery setting.

The Department for Education and Skills rejected the criticisms as insulting.

Mrs Lawson said some nursery workers even discussed in front of toddlers how hungover they were feeling after a night on the town.

She said she did not want to stop anyone drinking - "if that's what works for you, that's fine".

As a nanny or a nursery worker, you are acting as role models for children...
