it is utterly appaling that teachers are unable to spell or use their wisdom to know better than write anything which is not correct on any pupils text books and really i would pull the head teacher over on this matter, wether they liked it or not a school is there for educational needs of our young and the staff working within this system should be making sure all correspondence between them and the pupils is 100% correct.
furthermore speaking last summer to the last years students in matravers not one of them had heard of the industrial revolution, the spinning jenny , stephensons rocket etc, as the subject is not taught anymore BIZZARE the empire who invented the tv telephone electricity etc they are not taught the importance of the history of everything we use and live in todays world and how it came about, one lad thought tv came from taiwan i was impressed he even had heard of taiwain , and his face when i had told him it was john logie baird was a picture , as the inventor was a brittish person, how on earth are we to believe in the future of our childrens education when the world started to them with the EEC and Britains entry only on the history curriculum
that is only one subject how much more is lacking from the curiculum in the whole education process for todays kids
