Good idea. They might come away knowing how to spell Hillsborough and to count up to 97.

Is the Heysel disaster going to be taught as well or is that too much to ask

My first reaction is to why but if we are going down that line of thinking, maybe the Munich air disaster should be taught in schools on Merseyside, given what usually happens when Liverpool play Man Utd?

Are they going to be taught not to go to a match without a ticket?

Agreed.

Whilst acknowledging the seriousness of what happened at Hillsborough, there are terrible disasters happening all the time. and each one can teach people an important lesson so I don't see the point.

Looks like kids should learn much more about politics and especially about choosing their politicians wisely so that we finish up with someone who can run the country properly and,

when things do go wrong, can learn the lessons without wasting half a lifetime (and a lot of money) getting to the truth and then ensuring that no one pays for it anyway.

I recall many disasters happening since World war 2 and have yet to see a swift and proper response to any of them.

There are so many school children suffering from depression and panic attacks these days, and even committing suicide after reading depressing stories online, that we don’t need the Hillsborough disaster to make things worse. A relative of mine was at the disaster, and has never spoken about it since. Better left alone, but needs recording for history purposes.
