Christ, MORE dumbing down...that's the last thing the UK needs. I had 18 year-olds at my last job ask me what the BERLIN WALL was. Morons.

What is going on in that country seriously.. Never thought we would agree on something.

The oldest lesson in the world. "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

PS The new stuff they are adding is great and really important, as well, but lest we forget the important lessons of history.

I dropped out of school in the uk at the age of 16 (done my GCSE the government messed up my results so i got someone elses grades.) since i left school ive gained and NVQ level 1 it NVQ level 2 Business association and currently studying to take my A+ in Computer technician.

all i say is most of the teachers that taught at my school have no left due to bullying by the pupils who cant even spell swear words right and from what I hea the Teachers have to learn basic POLISH #######,

As I said, I'd be interested in reading more about exactly where and how this is being implemented.

Before year 10 (age 14-15) you don't get to choose your subjects anyway.

There has been a large influx of Polish people moving to the UK in the last three years. The reaction to them in York was demonstrative of the north of England's reputation for xenophobia.
