It’s literally part of the national curriculum and has been for years!
Truss (general uk sucks thread)
Force them to watch the Martin Lewis show
I didn’t have any classes on it Dave and the school I went to is one of the best ‘grant maintained’ schools in the county based on GCSE and A-Level results.
There was no PSE - we got Religious Education
Yeah but it should be assessed. It should be something you have to study and learn - not a fucking side-show that kids switch off from.
Old-Dutch Same here. Can’t remember Father Gogarty teaching us anything about compound interest tbh.
I bet you can still remember the smell his knob cheese though eh, Mono?
mono-stereo Compound interest was done in about Year 7 Maths anyway, you were just listening to your Warren G tape
Old-Dutch cleanliness is next to godliness.
Hahaha. I was taught that too.
They got something right with their curriculum
bosstrabs The only thing I remember about year 7 Maths is when my mate Mike farted and the entire class ended up being sent out.
mono-stereo Great japes. Our Maths classroom had windows onto the corridor running all along one wall of the classroom. Whenever any lad walked past they would do the walk that would make it look like they were descending some stairs that weren’t there. This happened almost every day for a whole school year. Hilarious & Co.

bosstrabs AN EXECUTIVE
And this is an area where you’re being obtuse and misleading - it’s not fully an executive in the sense it usually applies in a nation state; you’re overestating how much power they have. The European Council and the Council also in effect have significant, or even dominant, executive powers.

Lol, the old classic. Can’t beat the raw bants from school. Our classroom doors had small square glass portholes at door handle height, it was so year heads and such could peak in and check without having to disrupt the class, every now and then a cock & balls or arse cheek would appear squashed up against the glass. Great days.
Honestly wouldn’t surprise me that it’s not all a coincidence
mono-stereo
Christian Brothers school for me.
Only life skills we were taught were self defense in the showers
Religious schools sound horrific, I struggle to believe they exist in this day and age but alas as has been pointed out the schooling system is broken and hasn’t really changed for a 100 years.
Kids get zero life skills or social skills but know specific information in specific subjects which they won’t actually need.
CofE schools are bad enough. Load of old bollocks
