Snowflake schools

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

Where does Sludge say one is better than the other? Both are interesting but why would learning about one be better than the other?

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.

Foreign topics

Is snowflake school where they send kids in Derby to learn how to get football matches cancelled when you've got a few injury problems?

So in your opinion do you think kids should learn the entirety of british history before learning about anything else?

Should it be taught accurately or should it just be the old colonialism was actually quite nice.

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 £5 per person to go to a firework display?

Cmon mun.

This sounds a sweet story but his grandchildren are actually 23 and 27.

Re: Snowflake schools

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.

And our history is be wiped out…..won’t be allowed to talk about anything pre 1990 in a few years

In 1605. Hardly relevant to 2021. Interestingly, his former school, St. Peter’s in York, does not celebrate Guy Fawkes Night, as they refuse to burn a guy out of respect for one of their own.

Someone burnt Boris effigy will they teach that

This seems to have been the same topics since I was at school. World war 2, Tudors, plague.

Re: Snowflake schools

I’ve not got a issue with anything taught in school but Welsh history should be prioritised

Agreed, definitely not enough taught about it when I was at school.
