Re: Snowflake schools

Only utter pricks use the term "snowflake" in 2021.

Schools can't teach kids absolutely everything, and you can teach them things yourself, as I'm guessing you did.

Re: Snowflake schools

Did you ask them last week if they knew what Halloween was about, or did they just help carve a pumpkin and ask some neighbours for some sweets?

Re: Snowflake schools

The Diwali celebrations are a great laugh

Went to one in the Hindu temple in Grangetown several years back

Fantastic food , great dancing 💃

Why anybody would object to their grandchildren taking part in this and learning about it I have no idea 🤔

Not many snowflakes round here -
they're melting away.

He's doing modern history with them next week.

The Battle of the Boyne 1690.

Fun Bampi he's known as.

Aparently the "hanging" part of the punishment gave the victim a huge erection, so they started removing the object of the crowd's amusement.

Stiff punishment.

Re: Snowflake schools

We had our 2 grandchildren over last night to take to the display in Barry.
This diwali celebration thing popped up on the news and they said "ow bamp we were taught about this in school today" , and proceeded to rattle off this big long story about the event.

I said to them, "oh that's interesting, now as its bonfire night, can anyone tell me why we celebrate bonfire night?"

No, they heard of the name guy fawkes but that's it.

Now what is happening here in the world? Uh?
Where my grandkids are taught Asian holiday history but don't know why I've paid Ł5 per person to go to a firework display?

Cmon mun.

I’m sure more people celebrate Diwali in the world than bonfire night

People have skewed what I said here lads.
I got no objection to em being taught anything, however being taught a foreign topic before British history is quite wrong.

Re: Snowflake schools

The firework display is complete bollocks and learning about different cultures is far more interesting ?

In 20 years time one of your grandchildren might have an Asian boyfriend or girlfriend !

Blimey

Why is learning different cultures better than British history

I remember learning about the Rebecca Riots at school. A bit of foreign history instead would have been much more useful.

I suggest you take a look at the national curriculum and you will see how children are taught about both British and World history. Many schools are introducing a greater range of world history topics because there is a realisation that the British Empire and our country is not the be all and end all. Also our country is (thankfully) so much more diverse than it used to be so topics reflect that.
