The BBC says:
Pupils want their schools to use renewable energy sources and rainwater resources, a survey finds.
The poll of 850 13 to 15-year-olds in England found 81% backed the use of these forms of energy in schools.
Of those surveyed, 70% wanted to know where the ingredients in their school dinners had come from.
The survey was commissioned by the Department for Children Schools and Families to support its sustainable schools initiative.
Over two thirds of the teenagers surveyed said they would take action if they saw someone not being included or welcomed at their school.
And 73% of pupils felt their school was a welcoming place.
What pathetic third-rate propaganda. Most surveys are suspect but this survey is even more suspect, being undertaken by the government and just happening to show that the world is a wonderful place. Perhaps the government should have asked if the students would be willing to give up their weekly allowance to pay for "renewable energy sources and rainwater resources" to be used in their schools. And if "73% of pupils felt their school was a welcoming place", why do so many students hate school? Why does the BBC publish such unfiltered rubbish?
