London pays £90,000 to give class clowns completely pointless foot massages
This is very, very disappointing. Reflexologists believe that poking at your feet can actually heal diseases and treat emotional problems (I then ask: why the heck aren’t people having wild mood swings and crazy spasms as they walk on a variety of street conditions?), and the Lambeth Council is giving them money to treat unruly students to a day at the spa.
It’s a part of a larger program, but it really shouldn’t be part of the program at all. The larger program reports better attendance, so SOMETHING must be affective… though if I were getting a free foot massage, I might wanna go to school too.
