Truly appalling and saddening, what is British education coming to?

[biteythevampire]

I love England more than any place on earth, but they need to do something FAST about this. Almost makes me want to become a history teacher over there. When the line from political correctness to utter illogical stupidity is crossed, it's beyond unacceptable, it's dangerous. What a mess they've gotten into.

It's primary school. They definitely cover all those things in secondary school so why break their spirits earlier than you need? It's not like they are not getting taught it, they just aren't getting taught before the age of 11. I can't see the the point in teaching history that bleak to kids so young anyway, let them stay kids a little longer...

Hello by the way. I just bumped into you via the magic of random journal.

Hi there, thanks for stopping by

To be honest I'm always kind of suspicious about this type of article anyway because they love to create drama from nothing. The holocaust is always going to be on the syllabus, if for no other reason that that teachers can just put on one of the many documentaries on the subject and save their breath

If children of 8 already know "all about Hitler" then there would be no point in schools waiting to address him and the holocaust for after primary school
