Kids Say The Darndest Things

Education in the UK today

Adolf Hitler was the manager of Germany’s national soccer team, and Auschwitz was a World War Two theme park, a poll released by the Daily Mail on Friday said, questioning U.K. children aged 9 to 15.

It goes on and on. We have failed our children. They are as stupid as we are.

    Are you really surprised??!!

    Is the school curriculum teaching children of that age about World War II? And is it even necessary at that age?? With the attention span of kids nowadays just getting them to remember the times tables and learning to read and write is difficult enough.

    Once they have mastered language and maths then you can start teaching them about history so hopefully they wont be condemned to repeat it.

    If you read the article, the “kids” were up to 15 years old.
