DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HISTORY....

Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took.."
So who would have thought that when Sam Cooke was singing back in 1960 he was actually forecasting the UK Secondary school curriculum in 2008?
Children should no longer be taught traditional subjects at school because they are "middle-class" creations, a Government adviser has claimed. Professor John White, who contributed to the shake-up of the secondary curriculum, believes lessons should instead cover a series of personal skills. Pupils would no longer study history, geography and science but learn skills such as energy-saving and civic responsibility through projects and themes.
Yeah, that's the way to go. Remove every trace of academia from Education. Forget teaching all about those subjects which might stimulate a young mind and substitute those which can condition a young mind.
