PM Gordon Brown yesterday backed a young Cardiff businessman who uses rap music to teach GCSE courses.
Nathan Dicks, 25, runs Re-Wise Learning, a company that sets parts of the exam syllabus to music to help teenagers learn.
Pilot schemes are already up and running in 19 schools around Wales, and Mr Dicks appealed to the PM for help during a question-and-answer session at the Millennium Stadium, hosted by Red Dragon radio.

More continued destruction of British Values by the unelected, unwanted, tyrants 'Brown & Co'.
This unelected Government, together with the traitor Blair should be in the dock for their intentional destruction of established, historically proven processes in favour for their oppressive, tyrannical, egotistical garbage ideas.

Lowering the bar yet again. Perhaps they could teach Shakespeare by grunting and hooting. Or Virgil using wild gestures. And the professor could be an erudite orangutan.
No, that’s just silly. He wouldn’t have to be all that erudite.
Does Dr. Doolittle have a teaching position these days?

What a clever idea.
Permanently insert m----- F----- into everyday lexicon.

"PM Gordon Brown yesterday backed a young Cardiff businessman who uses rap music to teach GCSE courses. Nathan Dicks, 25, runs Re-Wise Learning, a company that sets parts of the exam syllabus to music to help teenagers learn. " Rather than teach them how to speak proper english.
Next, PM Gordon Brown will applaud the new "advanced mathematics" program, which involves these "street students" taking off their shoes and using their toes to count past ten.
