Accck!
Even worse, I think it's ridiculous school children don't, for example, know who Winston Churchill was (apparently many think he's just the bulldog from the adverts!), and other such figures. Up to an age level that's acceptable, but older... A lot of things I hear about 'kids today' I think, I didn't take in loads at school but I knew this, I knew that, I even knew some of the other. Are teachers really not teaching certain kind of basic things anymore?
And then there's the healthy eating thing... not even children, how can some people not realise about vegetables, etc. It's something you just grow up knowing about... if not that there's so many TV programmes and magazine articles about healthy eating and living. I'm not the most smart person on the planet, that's for sure, but some people really make me fear for this country.
Anyway, end of rant. Sorry.
