Agreed about it should be taught in schools, I havent got a clue about it and Im only just starting to learn/be bothered, disagree about the state school thing though, theres many a successful person thats been through state schooling. Not wanting to go off topic but being a teacher at a private school doesn't automatically make you a "better" teacher IMO
Maggy is right though, when I was at school I probably wouldnt have listened though I was never given the opportunity to.
