and my daughter will have to listen to religious bs at private school, so not much difference. BS is BS.

Chris Lewis,

I've got this strange feeling that I might be the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci.

Doubt it Mr O.

primary school kids?
Chris lewis,
They've been the target of the Left for 0ver 50 years now !
In the past two decades, they've even been pushing their way into Pre-School or haven't you noticed that ?
Why do you push education so much ? Because you full well know that apprentices who rely on pragmatism would reject your perpetually failing idealism.
Can you actually name any non-Uni indoctrinated Leftists ? How many journalists are employed without some tiny degree ?
Education & by that I mean real education not the present indoctrination is vital for this Nation to forge on. Indoctrination has been holding it back for decades now ! Time to let natural aptitude & intelligence reign & in no time the Plague of pseudo intellectuals will diminish !

Which is to point out that actually doing art, even in a rudimentary sense was considered to be of NO importance or usefulness.

By contrast the other streams, or those who were categorized as having no latent academic potential had art classes at least 3 times a week.

It seems to be forgotten that babies, toddlers, young children etc etc are exposed to art every day.

In the form of music, stories and story-telling, the books they read, illustrations in books, magazines, advertising, and of course the flickering images of TV.

What are they being taught, or more correctly brain-washed to be.

Furthermore the developing foetus is influenced by the music that its mother listens too, the background sounds both in the house and out in the very scary angular world, the tone and sound of her voice and her emotional state too from the moment of conception.
