I always wonder... schools teach history, geography and religious education. Yet, they don't teach current affairs.
Now, being the grammar school boy that I am, politics is all very funny to us all. But I wonder, at the crappy ****-pot comprehensives that exist (linger like a dog's fart, in some cases; and I don't mean all comprehensives, I've been to a couple of very good ones), how many pupils know who or what the cabinet are? What the latest humanitarian disaster is? How the economy will shape up when they have parents' with no reasonable source of income in their old age?

I think i know what you mean. I never understand why to we learn so much about all the good bits of british history but never learn about the middle east and Israel, we are far more likely to be affected from that than we are from how many wives Kenny Henry had. WW2 Teaching seems to be very pro british and seems never to mention the help from north america and rebels in europe (french resistance for example) tis a joke
