Educashun...
 

My wife has just told me her year 8 class (12-13 year old) couldn't put the months of the year in the correct order today.

According to them it goes April, June, July, but when asked where May was, they concluded and agreed, as a class, that it comes after March.

Are these people really going to be running the country when we all retire :confused:

I shall ask my nine year old in the morning, see if he knows, maybe its just a fick class!

She had one kid the other day that didn't know what his address was.

Re: Educashun...
 

next time ask your wife to ask the kids to tell her how many days are in each month. that should really mess their heads up.

I think Kettering is a bit of a fick town.

I get the impression that expecting kids to learn any everyday factual stuff is frowned upon these days, even things like basic geography (towns in Britain for instance), times tables etc.

Sad.
