Comment Absurdity reaching new levels (Score 5, Insightful) 62

Big Telcos have managed to properly influence the EU regulator to get this bill draft passed. It's funny to see Telco complaining about OTT players and their "free ride" pitch when they should be thankful to them because they generate the content that makes the Internet valuable, and their subscribers pay them to use it. Under the same "logic," Netflix should charge Telco/ISP for their subs to access their content. EU idiocy at its best.

Education Official Says Bad Teachers Can Be Good For Students 279

Zenna Atkins, the chairman of the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), has raised some eyebrows by saying that, "every school should have a useless teacher." She stresses that schools shouldn't seek out or tolerate bad teaching, but thinks bad teachers provide a valuable life-lesson. From the article: "... on Sunday Ms Atkins told the BBC that schools needed to reflect society, especially at primary level. 'In society there are people you don't like, there are people who are incompetent and there are often people above you in authority who you think are incompetent, and learning that ability to deal with that and, actually surviving that environment can be an advantage.'"
