I agree, the standard of reading in some adults is appalling.
I wonder how many 50s and 60s primary aged children learned science, geography, history, RE, DT, PHSE, internet safety as discrete subjects rather than a bit of topic or a nature table, not to mention homework - anybody of a certain age remember homework at primary school, I don't? I am absolutely certain that children today have ICT skills that were never taught in the 50s and 60s.
As to standards, I was the only child from my class to pass the 11+ - I wonder what literacy and numeracy skills the rest of the class had in that case. Oh those halcyon days.
Are children bottomless pits to be filled with 'education' or is there a limit to how much work a child under 11 should have to do? If the government insists that children have to study an ever increasing curriculum then something has to give. At the moment it seems to be childhood.
Hi, can we put our names down please.
