Don’t worry, I'm not going to have a rant and rave out the state of education and all that, but I did hear something on the radio the other day that worried and amused me, both at the same time.
I was listening to Radio 2 (a British station) the other day whilst I was driving to work, and the presenters started giving out some of the results of a questionnaire that had been answered by school kids, on the subject of the WW2.
Of all the mad answers the kids gave, these stood out in my memory.
1. 30% thought Adolf Hitler had at some time been the coach for the German football team.
2. 20% thought the Holocaust was a celebration to mark the end of the war.
3. 30% thought the Blitz was the clean up operation held in London after the war.
Hum? :rolleyes:
