As I said before, there is nothing "sexy" about it at all. I think you mean "sexist."

They are not "failing" to teach them anything. There is a whole raft of reasons why children can not read or write, it is not always the school's fault. To teach children to be better citizens is just as important as teaching the three "R"s

Oh that's me told.....
I know of plenty of schools in the London area where kids as old as 8 are getting 1 hour homework a week, and not knowing how to read or write properly.
I know what I'd prefer my 5 year old being taught, and its certainly not issues relating domestic violence. Why not teach them that its wrong to abuse people fullstop, instead of focussing on one area.

How about spending the £13 million or more on repairing the schools that are falling to bits.

My sentiments exactly. The time could be better spent teaching that age group something more useful.
