Exit Winston Churchill, enter Twitter ... Yes, it's the new primary
school curriculum
Source: Daily Mail (UK) (3-25-09)
Children will no longer study the Second World War and Queen Victoria,
but instead learn about Twitter and blogging under radical plans to
overhaul primary school teaching.
The new draft curriculum commissioned by the Government claims that
pupils can do without learning about the battle against Nazism and the
rise and fall of the British Empire.
In a move which will horrify many parents, it would see children focus
on internet tools such as Wikipedia and podcasting, as well as
innovations such as blogging and Twitter, which allows users to post
instant minute-by-minute updates about their lives.
