Re: Elocution Lessons
Apparently one of the plays that kids have to study now has over 200 hundred swear words in it.
When the parents complained they were given the brush off.
If that is the standard of education now a days what do we expect?

Re: Elocution Lessons
#28 Rob, I only have one grandchild at school P2 [6yrs]. I discussed this issue with my daughter the last time this subject was aired on site. She was assured by the teacher that this was not condoned by Alexander's school, and that he will be at least 10yrs before sex education will be broached and only when a letter from parents is signed allowing it. This was the same for my youngest when she was 10yrs also, and again with opt out option at that school, granted a different school but still Scotland.

Re: Elocution Lessons
Sadly in Hampshire the trendy liberals run these things , some of the School Subjects to my mind are borderline lunacy . They do role play dramas that make me cringe and I am no prude
