Re: How to make students even more unpopular

You did explain it well thank you Maggy but even before upper school they didn't get taught anything about the war which if they should have been is making me a little angry. In our town this is a constant running dispute as there seems to be differences between what our kids are being taught and what kids in other schools are taught and has led to some quite fierce confrontations between pta's and head teachers and the like.

But on the subject of history as i said kids that went to schools in other towns relatively local also were not taught anything about the world war's with the common response when you ask who churchill was being "isn't that that dog on the tele" which i find a more then a little disheartening. I am not saying all of these students were ignorant in fact someone clearly wasn't as he got the names correct and the context but i do doubt all of them are aware of how offensive and disgusting this is.

Hopefully someone at their uni will now take them all to one side and explain why this "game" is causing people upset and offense and hopefully apologies will be issued by those concerned.
