Mark Andrews: Kids don't need 'citizenship' classes, they just need a leaflet with 7 easy bullet points. Here's what they should be
Mark Andrews takes a wry look at the week's news
The Government has announced a review of the national curriculum, with compulsory lessons in something called 'citizenship', with compulsory lessons in subjects including politics, environmentalism, media misinformation and personal finance. How did we all manage without it?
The problem is, of course, without either removing other important things from the curriculum, or extending the school day, which I think is probably unlikely to happen, how will the teachers find time to fit it in? Well I think I've got the answer.
I reckon I could teach them all they need to know in seven easy bullet points. So give them all a leaflet, and insist they read it every morning during........
