  Books? Libraries? What century are you living in?
  
  What will happen to a Kent school I used to teach in which had got rid of every book in their library filling the place with computers and renaming it a 'Learning Zone'?
  
  Apart from the implication that the rest of the site was therefore a zone dealing with something other than learning, it seemed to be used as an internet cafe so students could keep up their semi-literate grunting at each other on 'social networking sites', playing computer games and continuing their elusive search for pictures of Britney Speare's front bottom!
  
  The excellent computer facilities were shown proudly at each parents' evening as proof that we were equiping the drongos for the 'world of work' in spite of the fact that most were leaving school functionally illiterate and/or innumerate (as they are at any school with less than 50% A* - C including English and Maths, which I note includes EVERY secondary school in the Dover area which is non grammar).
