What do they teach kids in school these days, everyone knows it's Noddy Holder! On a serious note, I know there isn't a big push for RE in schools these days but this is common knowledge, surely?

I agree Speedy, and now it's seems to show that kids are watching far too much TV &, not learning anything at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingjimmy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I would really like to know the wording of the question, because that sounds a bit suspect tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Gobby Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Unfortunately our Heritage, History, and anything remotely British are slowly being eroded even school nativity's and what it stands for or now doomed .As for Mr Cowel many people don't seem to relies the amount of work he does ,and money he gives to charity. Hardly a Pratt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien52 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So 5 to 7 year olds not very knowledgeable about biblical events. From my experience they also struggle with the short term causes of the Great War. I blame the parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, who cares if a bunch of 6 year olds know what date the Romans decided to arbitrarily attribute to the birth of Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
